License plate light Disable while In Reverse (DIR)

The DIR w AUX has a thicker "trunk" if you will, as it's 3 wires instead of 2. Also uses 14 gauge milspec instead of 18 gauge txl so it is more expensive (I have to order more red, good reminder) intended to support the increase in current for aux reverse as compared to plate light bulbs.

It might be "nice" if I could somehow offer an add on module to a base DIR to convert it but I can't figure out a way to do that.

It comes with a cap so you can keep it waterproof when not in use.

 

I'm gonna go ahead and order the aux version right now. Reckon I can get it to PA within a week or two? I hate working on my truck in the snow lol

 

There any discount codes my cheap ass could use?

 

I do fixed pricing. I hate variable pricing as a consumer and I’d prefer if people buy what they need when they need it, not before because of pricing.

 

Fair enough, and good on ya man. Was just a shot in the dark, I want it even at full price lol

 

Went ahead and placed the order. Thanks again.

 

You won’t be disappointed. I use this with the Aux powering a MESO HitchPod/BD S1 light, and it works fantastically. This is so good, I think it should be an OEM feature.

 

inhabe the same setup but with the Diode Dynamics pod. I agree, it’s a phenomenal setup. I’m in rural area, when it’s dark, it’s DARK. This mod is worth its weight in gold

 

I turn my head when I reverse. It's free.

 

Couldn’t find this detailed. I’m running an anytime backup camera front camera with OEM backup camera.

when I switch to the backup camera even while moving forward (so not in reverse), will the license plate lights turn off? I kind of want them to since contrast will be set for if they’re off. Anyone know if there’s an easy way to adjust this or am I asking for too much?

 

No, the relay trigger is off the reverse bulb, when reverse bulbs are on, plate lights (if on) will be disconnected.

Back in the day I'd just slap it in reverse if I cared but I have a germes kit so I can see the difference and see what it's like with them on.

My new bumper is so low budget that it didn't come with plate light cutouts, seems like perfect irony to me.

In order to get that functionality you'd need to feed the relay from the trigger input to the head unit which would then kill plate lights with the front camera (perhaps sub-optimal) or do some extra fancy logic with multiple relays to "figure things out" but it's really a ton of cost and headache, doesn't seem worthwhile to me.

 

you bring up a valid point. Probably easier to relocate to avoid this issue when getting a high clearance rear bumper. Maybe best off skipping the harness for now til I know what I’m doing there

 

I tried to order one with the aux output and it appears that nothing happened when I clicked the Place Order button. Any help would be great!

 

Square can be strange sometimes. Just try again sometime.

 

It told me it had expired. I used google pay and still can't tell if it went through.
