Just got clear corners, and some PIAA LEDs from FedEx. I am gonna try and get them in today and post pics. Im gonna install them on some Yakima brackets I bought for my rack. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for wiring the back-up lights. I don't want to wire them to my reverse lights, so I can turn them on (while the car is off) if I need a light while working around the back of my X. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

wire them up just like regualar fogs.
relay and switch = simple.
This has been covered on this forum a ton, have you tried a search for fog light wiring?
 






Sry, (I was thinkin one thing and typin another) What I was wondering If anyone had suggestions on where to run the wire. I would hate to drill, but cant stand for wires to be visible (going into my back hatch).
 






I drilld through my roof for my roof lights, it was easy :)

When they are not up there (rack removed so I can park inside) I have a plastic plug and clear silicoln to plug the hole.
It has been there for years and never bothered me, in fact I am the only one who ever see's it.

Mine is just above the passengers head, I ran my wires up along the windshield pillar and right through the roof, I didnt not have to remove the headliner to get access to this spot. and I only had to drill through the top layer of the roof, because I was careful about the spot I picked, I drilled from inside to out, so I wouldnt go through the headliner (headliner pulled back out of the way)

Pick a spot and DRILL that sucker :)
 






thanks
