Here is a thread that talks about the relay and fuse that goes in the electrical box under the hood to get power to the trailer harness.

These flat light bars all appear to be the from same manufacturer. Its just a bunch of different resellers.

I was thinking of something more like this.

the factory halogen bulbs pull too much power, i replaced my factory reverse lights (also have tinted tails, 20%) with leds and my bumper light bars lit right up with them being wired to the factory reverse lights.

Just ordered a set of these, should be here this weekend
Also ordered the LED interior/Cargo & backup lights
And I have some blue LED pods I am going to install inside the cab
I ordered & installed the Blue pods on my MC...then realized that's a bad idea
So green pods are going on the bike, blue are going in the truck
I have 10 pods...2 in front foot area, 2 in the back...not sure on the other 6
I may install 2 or more in the bed area
I need to clean out my garage now so I can drive the truck in & install this stuff
