I ran a small set of 55w foglights on the hitch and wired them into the reverse light wire in the trailer plug, never a problem and it is a seperate fuse than the truck revserse lights so if you did blow a fuse the other lights would still work in reverse.

Drawing to much for the stock wires, thats why you have the dimming, to verify, use a DMM and check the voltage to the revearse lights. You will more then likely see between 10 and 11 volts. Like others have posted, I to tapped the the trailer wiring for my spare revearse lights.
