using a two way swich will just mean you wont hook up the swich to ACC power. i just ran a wire from the back of the car i couldnt find the wire in the cab either, having a 3 way swich means i can turn the light on/off or auto with the reverse lights.

its illegal but easy the way i did it, just run a wire , past the switch from the batt with a fuse of course, then to the light then to ground ;) easy on or off when ever you want it :P

Ok as long as the switch can cope with the continuous current flow.

This recent topic here in 'General' might help you...

I posted a diagram there which can use a 2 or 3 way switch, where power is supplied direct through the switches.
