What lighting system for Dodge Ram toad using M&G

I am having the M&G braking system installed on the mh and a 2015 Dodge Ram. Since the system mounts to the brake cylinder can I assume nothing pulls on the brake pedal, safety harness included? I was looking for a direct diode plug-in such as Hopkins,but they do not list the Ram. I really don't want to chop up the wiring for a diode system. Is there another manufacturer for these harness's?
Maybe the led light kit under the tail gate as others have posted? This would seem the easiest install and lessen the chance for the EVIC to pick up any wiring anomaly's. Any insite and pro's and con's I should be aware of?

Consider a wireless lighting system for a towed vehicle, they range from a few hundred to almost a thousand dollars. The transmitter plugs into the Bargman plug on the MH, lights are magnetic-mount.

Read the M&G website, coach air pressure activates the towed brakes, and charges the small pressure tank for the breakaway system. It's the only towed braking system that you can truly install and forget it's there. It only requires the included air line to the coach. They even have an install kit for the MH that's approved by frame mfgrs.

Consider a wireless lighting system for your towed. It eliminates all issues with disturbing the OEM wiring.

I found a plug and play harness similar to the Hopkins. It is a Curt #58906 for the 2015 Dodge Ram. Amazon for 55 bucks, cant beat that. I think I will convert the 4 flat at the front to a more substantial mount and fitting and a decent cable to the coach.
