Splicing into the reverse lights
A while back I seen a cop with spot lights on the back of his truck, when he put it in reverse they came on. I thought that was cool so I got some, but they are just bolted in. Right now with work slowing down I have some time to do the stuff I meant to do a while back.
Anyway, which wire to I splice into in the cluster of wires that go to the light?

first how much power will they draw? if it was me i would wire a dedicated 12v source from the battery to a relay and then a trigger wire from the backup lights to the relay and the aux lights on a relay
I have no idea how much power they draw, they are the ones you see on a lot of the semi trucks. I found one in a scrap yard and took the lights off of it.
Black wire/pink stripe...
Check if that's the correct wire in YOUR truck, that's what I used to trigger the relay for my aux reverse lights... comes on when in reverse

To OP:
Just wire in a relay, better safe than sorry. You probably think your truck is hot now, just wait until that wire overheats, better have the marshmallows and hotdogs ready.
