Default DODGE RAM LIGHTING

I just bought 30 clearence lights, and i want to install 15 lights on each side of my truck. what is the safest circuit to connect this many lights to without damaging the alternator? i thought about connecting it to the trailor hitch connectors but that means the lights will turn on when i hit the brake. i just want them to turn on as running lights and turn signals.

Installa relay, suitable for the current draw your lights use and take a feed from your running lights, to trigger the relay.
Don't forget to put an in-line fuse to your relay power feed input and use suitable gauge wire to connect up etc.
Thatwould be the recomended and safest way to wire up your new lights.
Enjoy.
