Installing A Light Run Off A Toggle Switch
Question:
Hello, 1. I like this light, but would like the ability to turn it on and off as I needed from drivers seat. 2. In the install video it mentions this light is handy when working with hitches etc, however in the video they only had it connected when car is in reverse. How would one light it when car is in park, or off? Thank you.

The Bully Bumper Mount Backup Light - Clamp On # PL-807 can be added to a switch on or near your dash. I recommend using the Pollak Light-Duty Toggle Switch - On-Off - 12 Volt - 10 Amp - 6" Wire Leads # PK34513 and running wire directly from your battery for power using a ring terminal like # DW05737-1. You can use butt connectors like # DW05744-10 and wire by the foot like # 16-1-1. This will allow you to use the light at any time whether the car is on or off.
