    This is probably a beaten to hell subject but I mounted my cali raised LED ditch lights to the rear of my rack pointing behind my truck.

    The only issue is that cali raised does not make a wiring harness for the rear of the vehicle.

    Does anyone have the details on how to wire this setup with a relay, fuse, and switch?

    You could just solder in more wire to extend the harness. Or you could spend a lot on a KC wiring harness but it’s much easier and cheaper to just extend the harness

    I used the harness for a new set of ditch lights up front. So that wiring harness is in use.

    But I guess I could buy another wiring harness that is too short and extend the harness using my own wires. With this I will have the relay, switch, fuse all wired up and would simply have to hardwire in a length to reach the back.

    Yep, that’s what I did before I made a relay panel
