Well, at least we're getting some where.

Questions:

1. Where is the switch connected, is it on the wire coming from the battery?

2. When you flip the switch and the aux lights come on, are you in park of reverse?

the switch is hook up the the wire that goes to the battery.

te lights come on on park.

btw, it is a remote light.

That ebay link said something about a remote switch, what is that and are you trying to used it?

Ok, this is how you have it right now:

Battery -> switch -> orange wire on aux light
Postive wire on reverse light -> positve wire on aux light
Groung wire on aux light -> ground on explorer

Does that sound right? There are only three wire to the aux lights: positve, negative, and the orange wire?

I meant is that the way you have it wired right now?

Do you know the web site for the company who makes those lights?
