Want to add LED reverse lights to 2015 ram without a switch. Works great in acc mode, but not when truck is running. Any help would be great

I would assume it's hooked up to an acc power line only or something.. go over your wiring and make sure it's wired in right.

First wired each on off each stock BU light, then tried tagging two to one stock light and lastly ran a hot line from the battery to a relay which works but the relay "Humms" constantly

Not sure what you mean above. You ran the hot from the battery to relay and used the reverse as a trigger? or are you saying you wired the LED directly to the BU and are using a relay? I'm not sure what your final setup is.
