Nice job. I assume the black wires in the harness are all ground and the white is switched power, red is source power. Weird colors, but ok.
Your back-up light power is a white-blue wire you can find in either kick panel. Ground is straight to chassis at the light.

How you tap depends on how you want the lights to behave. Do you want the light switch to work 24/7 or key on only? If key on only is acceptable, I would tap anywhere in the GAUGE circuit for the switch power as that feeds the stock lights, and thus you would avoid having two fuses feeding the same circuit. Think about how easy it is to leave those on and drain the battery.
If you want 24/7, then just jump the main source red to the switch source red, but I would add a diode at the tap to stock light circuit so that power only comes from the GAUGE circuit to the aux lights, and can't feed back.

. I also ordered a wiring harness for ease of installation. The picture below is the wiring digram from the harness. My question is I would like to hook these up so that when I put my truck in reverse both lights come on and the aux lights can also be on a switch. What do you think my best bet is to tap into the aux lights? And what wires are power and ground for my backup lights?
