Splicing into the reverse lights

I did it back when I made the thread, I didn't have any testers to see what wire got power when I put it in reverse, but the first wire I tapped in to was the right one lol.
I want to put some led pods flush mounted into my bumper, can I just splice those into the reverse lights? I saw people said a led tailgate light bar would be okay but not off-road lights. But if they're just the led pods with 4 lights in them will that be okay?

I have 2 10 w cubes and some Cree LED reverse lights (7w each) on mine.
So that 24w is pulling 2 amps.
So if you change the reverse lights to LED (These are the ones I got) as well as the pods, you should be fine without a relay.

Heres what I did for additional reverse lights. 6 eagle eye LED's spliced right into the reverse light wires drilled into the bumper. Swapped factory bulbs with LED's in the reverse lights too. Not sure why the LEDs in the bumper look yellow but they are actually really bright white light.
Same here, triggers my reverse camera. Its right there looking at you in the bundle of wires.
