Ck and see how many amps the lights pull. You could overload your wiring in your truck. It could be done with a relay. I would just use the remote and keep them seperate from the truck reverse wiring if it were mine since you have a remote.

I was going to hook mine up to my reverse lights at first but then I decided to just hook them up to my switch panel because I had a switch not being used and I dont need the extra light every time I reverse. If you are stubborn just follow the wire frome your normal reverse bulb and tap into it with a relay. Good luck.
