Hi Folks...me again.
I'd like to install 2 floodlights on the top, rear of my trailer. I'd like them to serve a dual purpose...to act as backup lights when the tow vehicle is put in reverse and to act as floodlights when I need them. I am thinking it is as simple as hooking a 3 way switch into the circuit with one pole to the yellow wire (backup on the trailer wiring harness) and the other pole to the trailer battery. Am I on the right track? Also, is there any danger of screwing something up if the switch is in the wrong position, as in shifting to reverse while the floodlights are running from the trailer battery?
Thanks again for any and all help.
