Wiring up relay for LoD back-up lights?
I've seen wiring diagrams for auxiliary lights that use a relay to power them. Where do I put the relay, mounting wise?

LoD back up light relay.
I installed my relay inside the space behind the right rear tail light. Mounted it to the left side. Used the factory wire for back up light to fire the relay. I also ran a set of wires to the normally closed contacts thru a switch on the dash so I could turn them on at will. It makes it nice when setting up camp at night.

Here's a picture of where I put mine. Right next to the battery. I just mounted it under the nut that was already there. I was really planning on mounting a few on a plate and using that same nut and the mounting point, I just haven't needed more yet.
