WHEN INSTALLING TWO LED REVERSE LIGHTS TO MY BACK BUMPER, I WANT TO TAP THE WIRES TO MY TRAILER WIRE HARNESS. IS A RELAY REQUIRED?

I took the pin out of the 7 pin connector, ran a wire through the rubber seal around the wire I removed and souldered it to the pin and reinstalled pin in connector. Did same with ground wire.

May be different than yours, but same idea, this way your not hacking into stock harness.

That link is for a 4 flat, the Curt 5 flat already has the reverse wire tapped:
