Edit: I would measure, tape and observe while the bumper is still mounted on the truck so that you can be sure you are centered with the bumper mounted, would definitely remove bumper to do the cutting though. Just my two cents

I tried to wire mine to the trailer harness reverse switch and would get intermittent beeps from the backup sensors. Annoyed me so much, I disconnected it. I have the same auxiliary lights. I ended up adding deutsche connectors to the bare wires and ran to a fused relay in an auxiliary fuse panel under the hood and connected it all to Ford OEM superduty switches. Never had a single stray beep since. I also have the advantage of using the lights only when I need them.

If you go with a switched circuit put the switch where you can easily see it and make sure the switch illuminates when on. Law enforcement does not look kindly on folks with rearward facing lights going down the road with them on. Been there, done that and have the ticket to prove it. "I forgot they were on" didn't work.

I cut mine without removing bumper. Measured about 35 times, cut out using a dremel and cutting wheels. Went very slowly so not to mess things up. Wired into trailer harness reverse lights. Hardest part was starting cutting very stressful.

Step #1. Go with KustomFx light switch panel and wiring!! I did and would do it again without question. I have no connection with the owner/designer other than being a 100% committed customer for life. The best quality ever and fully available for questions and advise. As far as mounting the lights, we did mine while the bumper was still mounted. Taped off with blue painters tape, measured several times, traced the provided template, then cut with a die grinder and cutoff wheels. Turned out great. I will post pics ASAP.
