I'm looking to do the same, in an LED version (low current draw, so no chance of overloading the factory truck wiring. I had some on my previous truck and they worked great.

Here's a round or square version. According to posts I read on the Northwood / AF forum, they deal with Optronics now. Optronics has some smaller LED work lights I am going to see if www.ledtrailerlights.com can get for me.

I also painted back side of rear wings flat black to eliminate the glare. I did add a switch on cab third brake light but dont think that would be a good idea on tailights-unless you had an absoluete fail safe way to remember turning back on when camper off. Suppose a clever fella could fab something that loading camper auto disconnected truck tailights, pressure switch in bed, switch on 7 pin plug lid, plunger switch.
In any case on newer truck, turning off tailights might need to turn on dummy load? But black paint was sufficant for me.

I assume this is at night? I added backup lights to camper that are tied to camper taillight backup 'indicators' lights (all there good for). Simple tractor sealed beams hung from bumper.

To eliminate the reflection, I painted the wing semi-flat black which seems to have stopped the issue. I used spray and taped everything off. I use the mirrors and since my camper is 9.5, I haven't had an issue backing up that I needed a camera, yet.
