Hey guys,

I have a 2018 Chevy Silverado crew cab

I recently installed a rack on my pickup truck.

I have two led pod lights on the rack that I would like to wire into my existing dome light switch, AND to my reverse lights.

-Is this the correct way it should be wired?

-Do I need a fuse from 86 and 87 going to the battery?

-Is a 30 amp relay good?

-Is a 15 amp fuse enough?

Thanks!

Danny V.

Anytime you connect directly to the battery, the lead should be fused (as close as possible to the battery).

You should be able to find an existing fuse for a non-critical circuit that can be utilized.
