I have a 2023 Lariat (and a long dark driveway) and am looking for enhancing my backup lighting. Has anyone tried the VLEDS liscense plate reverse light bar (or other similar light) ? I am concerned about electronic interference when hooking up to the reverse light wiring in the tail lights.

I too would like to increase my reverse lighting but would prefer not to molest the factory wiring into the taillights. I have been eyeballing this:
https://www.diodedynamics.com/hitchmount-led-pod-reverse-kit-for-2021-2023-ford-f-150.html

Its plug and play, no wires are tapped, and claims 1440 raw lumens; the link you provided claims 2500 but I find that optimistic given the amount of sink material there. Price is the same for both. Also I think the hitchmount might look less cheesy.

Thanks, but I have a trailer hitch hooked up to mine. I helped install a liscense plate reverse light on my son's GMC AT4 and it proved to be very functional and really inconspicuous. The looks are fine, mainly concerned about the electronics effect on other systems in the truck.

OEM reverse lights suck in this truck. Would love to add extra without using the hitch or tapping into OEM wiring.

I have one. It works great. I spliced into the reverse light wiring at the trailer connector. No negative consequences, everything works as before just more light. Works fine with zone lighting as well.
