Well I actually came across a free cracked tail light assembly luckily from a local 5th gen FB group. I removed and cut off the reverse light socket from the harness. There are 2 wires that are attached to it. (If curious, the part number for the tail light harness is 81555-35400.) Instead of using existing reverse light socket, I removed it (still attached to harness, pushed it aside) and used the extra socket in it's spot. Then I simply ran two wires to the front. It is powered by an empty slot in the fuse box, with a fuse tap/add a circuit inline and the button wired in as well. The LED's are from VLED, I purchased an amber and a red 921 because I wanted to test both to see what I liked better.
If you don't want to look for an extra socket, you can probably achieve the same results by tapping into the Tail As Turn harness or existing harness that feeds the tail lights, most likely the tail light wire - though I am not 100% so you will need to double check and test for yourself. And if you tapped that wire, it can only be turned on when tail lights/head lights are on. Mine turn on when the key is in ACC position, not just when the headlights are on.
