I just got some lights from a friend and i want to put them on the back of my 95 4runner and make them come on when i put my car in reverse and i was wondering if someone knew where i could get a diagram or if someone could give me a little bit of help and tell me what to do?

Run off one of the wires on the reverse lights. Just tap into the wire and run a new wire to the new lights.

Whoa Eric,

Before you heed Jeff's advice, I'd take note on how big those lights you have. If they are teeny, follow his advice. If they're big lights, I'd use a direct power source and 12 gauge wiring to run to the back with a relay to activate the lights. I have them wired in my truck with a two way switch where one position makes the lights turn on whenever the reverse lighs come on and the other position makes the lights come on regardless.
