Auxiliary lights and 2 switches

I've got a set of cube LED lights I'm going to mount on the back with the intention of auxiliary reverse lights controlled by a switch up front.

I'd also like to have a toggle switch in the rear hatch area that allows me to turn on the lights if I need them (like helping someone on the side of the road for example) Does anyone have a diagram to show how it would be done?

Thanks!
 






Melon I don't have a diagram, but I have some mounted on the back of my stock roof rails. I have a method that requires no modifications or drilling! On the electrical side I have a fused feed from the positive battery terminal running to an add-on relay, which is grounded to the fender via a short lead. From the relay I run the trigger wire to an interior switch and from that switch I tap the trigger voltage from a switched source on the fuse block using a mini fuse tap. Then I run a hot from the relay direct to the lights, and ground the lights to the body in the jack compartment. Post back if I can help.
