Nice setup,what's the wattage on the lights ? I noticed that the wires to the backup lights are small when I spliced in my backup camera and would like more lighting on the rear for backing up.Does anyone know how much you put on the backup light circuit.

In one of the first pictures you can see that he is using a relay... I would guess he ran his own power wire and is only using the backup circuit to trigger the relay. In which case it pulls virtually no current.

Thought I'd steal an idea from you Pat. Between the factory privacy glass and taillight tint it used to be hard to see in reverse at night.



Thought the last picture was kinda a cool side effect.
