I just installed these yesterday and tapped into the white with purple wire located at the passenger side brake light area. If there is a way to also have them trigger with the cargo / reverse mirror lights that would be amazing!!!

You can use AlfaOBD to enable the lights in reverse. MS and CA don't allow it to be programmed that way from the factory.
I like what I'm hearing!! excuse mt ignorance here but how do i get that done? Sounds like I need to get a hold of a AlfaOBD devise?

You will need AlfaOBD, or JScan, a security bypass cable, and a OBDII dongle.

These are what I have:

I mounted these o the closest to center bolts and angled them out a tad. I didn't like the look of them out so far and they work great here. Now to figure out how to wire them up to the AUX reverse switch.... Baja Design close.pngBaja Design close.pngBaja Design full rear.jpgBaja Design side.png

The extra light is great.

I would worry about smashing them when dragging the bumper.

As it is I worry about the sensors and that plastic trim.

I did what you want. Here's how I did it.
