So I mounted lights into the rear bumper cover of my 09 Tahoe SSV, to have brighter back up lights. I also want a switch somewhere so that I can have lights to hook up trailer ETC. Can anyone provide me with a diagram of the simplest way to achieve this please. I've seen a bunch of write ups but only either switched or triggered with reverse lights. I want both..

It would be pretty simple to use a switch in parallel with a relay to do that. The relay would use the reverse trigger to turn on. An SPDT switch in parallel with the two load contacts on the relay would let you manually switch the light as well.
