Reverse light wiring

does anyone know off hand the wire color of the reverse lights? I would rather find it in the bundle then take it directly off one of the lights.

I want to add this... Backup

i know its going to be ridiculous. thats the idea

They do have light bulbs with a beeper intergated in a single unit. Just swap out the bulb no wiring changes required.

I think he means auto parts stores in general, I got some of those once at wal-mart or autozone and they were crap. not very loud, and the bulbs didn't last.

Trucklite / Signalstat folks who supply trucks and heavy equipment lights and access. should have a listing for such things.

I want to add one to mine when it gets in. But believe me, NO one pays attention to them. My work truck has one and at 5 in the morning it just pees off the neighbors when I leave for work.
