Back up lights

[final flight]

Ordered and received clear submersible lights for my trailer, now I need a little help.... I have a reverse solenoid on my serge brakes and would like my lights to come on when the solenoid is activated. Should I splice into the wiring on the plug or to power side of the solenoid ? Separate ground wire or ground to trailer frame . Thoughts or ideas will be appreciated !!! Thanks Rollie......

Why would you not want them activated when you hit the brake pedal and just hook them up they way there supposed to be. Your doing a lot of splicing/cutting on wires that don't need to be cut up, which just cause problems down the road. I would just splice the new lights into the original wiring going to the old lights.

Would that be road legal, 5000 lumens every time you hit the brakes, just want them for backing into launch ?

Could you splice into the 12v backup light in the tail light assembly? you would have to run a totally separate wire to the 5K lumen lights though.  Question to this answer is,  is 12v coming off of the brake solenoid wire? if so splice away. May be easier to clamp a light to the boat and turn it on while launching...

I thought of doing that, but that would be too easy.... found a post on walleye forum that shows how. Thanks for replying guys...... Rollie
