Would they still come on when shifting into reverse or would I have to use the switch? And how hard is it to wire them?

It's no different than wiring in the electric fan to a switch and it still works. Just run a switched B+ line to the back up light circuit at the rear of the vehicle.

You lost me. I'm not that electrically literate yet. Please explain more haha

I have no idea what you do with your XJ but for the sake of covering all the bases:

Power inverter
Dual battery isolator switch
Blackout switch
IR illuminators/cameras

You're behind your vehicle loading stuff on a rainy night in the mud. You drop the ignition key and didn't see where it went. Now you can grab a flash light (ends up with dead batteries), orrrrr........flip a switch and your backup lights illuminate the area. Good thing too, as you accidentally stepped on the key, pushing it deeper into the mud.

Just one reason for switching the backup lights.

How can I do the wiring for the reverse lights??

Other than winching there'd be no reason though?

I have mine setup to raise the idle to 1300 rpms, it's great when it's 100*+ out. I let my jeep idle at 1300 with the ac on while I run around doing short trips so the inside of my jeep doesn't heat up. Just yank the key out of the ignition, use the keyfob to lock the doors and away you go. arty:

Here is a link to a writeup I did to put back up lighting on my boat trailer. You could easily modify it to work for the vehicle itself

The biggest change is the 12v wire would have to be run to the back instead of using the one in the 7 pin connector shown
and the rev sol and rev connection on the 7 pin connector would become the original rev lights

Doing it this way I have no switches in the cab, just a key fob
