Due to the poor lighting with the LED reverse light, I tried this today and pretty happy with the results. Let me know your thoughts... thanks!

I don't plan on towing and if I have to, then it can be easily removed as I have installed quick disconnect connectors on the wires. The hardest part was drilling the holes to the hitch, took a bit to drill through even with some heavy duty drill bits.

Here is the link to the light. The wire that comes with the light is not long so I added extra just enough to tap into to wire.



Self stripping quick connectors to tap into the back up light wires.

Interesting can you provide more on what you installed?
 
Im guessing your never planning on towing then?
 
A picture is worth a thousand words but we need a few words to go with the pictures.
Thanks, I will get the details posted today as I was busy yesterday doing this install plus other things around the house.
 
Updated my original post with the links... thanks
 
This is where I tapped into the wires, driver's side rear and the wires were white/light brown and black.

Another picture of the back up lights on a dark street.
