    A few mods here and there and counting....
    Yes. I wired it to the trailer harness. The draw on the led pods are low and has been fine for the past 2 years.

    Just do the extra work and wire a switch into the cab. It's not hard.

    Someday you'll glad be you can use them while you're parked.

    I have my rear facing pods connected to a switch AND the reverse lights. Diode isolate, utilize a relay and you can turn on the pods either way.
