They are wired into the trailer wiring with a diode so the strobe controller won't back-power trailer lights or the electronics in the truck.
I'll can get a picture of the very basic mounting bracket if anyone really wants... but it isn't anything impressive. Pure function.

My guess is that there's a connection straight to the lights power bypassing the strobe controller so you can apply a constant power. That way I do see the need for the diode to prevent the controller from turning your regular lights into strobes.
What I wasn't sure is if you found some lights that conform to the plastic thing above the window (I know they make those for the Tahoes) or if they were mounted in some other way. They definitely look at lot better than generic lights or LED strips, and they're surely much more visible.
