Has anyone wired a backup light so when you hit reverse it will come on?

Use the backup alarm connection, I have no idea where it is on the 500 I’ve only owned 700 and 1000.

Go to a Honda accessories site and click .pdf link for back up alarm instructions (and other stuff), also on this forum home page.

One option is to mount an led light (back of roof lip) with dash switch, then tilt for cargo, backup, or forward for cab light (2 pack at Northern tool).

I just have mine wired to a switch so i can also use it for a cargo light. Great when getting the bow or gun ready before daylight heading to the stand.
