Just a thought. You should drill small holes in the hitch behind the lights and run the wires through them. It would help clean the look up, make 'em look more "stock".

I installed some similar backup lights, and wired them to the stock backup light wiring. Remove the tail light assembly and tap into the backup light wiring.
The backup light wiring perhaps is not really designed to handle the extra draw of two 55w lights, but I figure they're only on for short periods of time.
I've had mine installed for several months, with no problem.

Absolutely....with the included relay to get a signal from the back-up lights but power comes from a fused supply from the battery. Actually I spliced into the yellow and orange back up wire in the tow harness wire loom and not the tail lights...that was closer and easy to splice.
