Rear Ditch Light Wiring

I tried to search for some threads, but I didnt really find anything too helpful.
So im hoping some of you electronics guys can help me out here. I can work on mechanical issues and what not, however, my weak area is electronics and wiring. I want to install a small LED ditch light on the rear of my truck, mounted on my bed rack. Would this be difficult to wire in to the battery and a dashboard switch? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

 

It's a pretty simple job. The post below shows how to wire the light with a relay, which I advice. Depending on what switch(trigger device) you want to use will depend on how that gets wired, but there are several diagrams for a couple different switches in the thread the post I linked is from.

I made some brackets for my lights to go over the cover. Might give you some ideals.

 

Thanks! Im going to look it over.

Thats a pretty slick set up. I have a Frontrunner Outfitters bed rack so I planned on buying these lights https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.c...erformance-3-in-led-16w-flood-lamps-pair.html

But which lights are you using?

 

random idea; how difficult would it be to wire a remote system where i could turn the front and back ditch light on from w/e distance away?

 

If thats possible, then id be interested in doing that, too. The main reason for me wanting lighting on the back of my truck is bc I do alot of kayak fishing and for tournaments, im at the ramp well before dawn and there isnt much light around. A remote would be pretty clutch.

 

I'd have to imagine its possible....just a matter of how much work, money etc. is involved....someone who knows will chime in i'm sure.

Couldnt remember there name and had to dig through my instagram to find them. Never tried it but they do good work from what I can see.

 

Can I get the dimensions of these?? I've been looking for a way to mount some pod lights on the back of my truck just like this. My dad runs a sheet metal shop and could make these pretty easy with the dimensions.
