Ebay has a similar light that they call the slim version also.

I'm getting ready to do this as well.
Do you REALLY need the relay?
Since these are so low-draw wouldn't it be ok to just tap into the other wires (blue/white for power and black for ground)? Wouldn't they still come on without the relay? (i'm a wiring idiot)
Just trying to make this easier on myself

Just look on eBay for 18 watt led lights and scroll through them. I have something similar if not the same under my bumper and they work great. I'll try to take a picture in the morning when I get out of work.

I installed these
on my existing outer bolts of my FX2. I had the same problem with the tinted windows. I had put LED bulbs in first and that did not help enough. I just tapped in to the center pin on the trailer plug and then grounded the lights to themselves. They have only been on a couple of months, but accomplished what I needed to.
I have not posted pictures because I have embarrassingly not gone and tucked the wires yet - I wanted to see if they made a difference before I cleaned them all up.
I started with one light (to see if they were decent quality) and then purchased another one

These lights are available everywhere it seems. Best picture I have of them but they work great for around $35-$40 a pair. If I remember I'll try to get a night shot tonight.
