Smile Under Tailgate light bar

All,

2017, F150 - has anybody added the long skinny light bar (strip) under the tail gate?
They have brake and turn signals.

Did you wire them into the existing wiring, or plug them into the trailer hitch wiring?

Appreciate your help and information.

If you plug it into the trailer wiring the truck will think you always have a trailer connected. One result will be that it disables the backup sensors.
