Reversing camera

Postby jaglover » Mon Aug 09, 2021 1:25 pm

I have a 2003 XK8 and I have purchased and wish to install a reversing camera. I attach a photo of the camera installation booklet which shows that the red (positive) wire should be connected to the reversing light power wire and the black (negative) wire to ground. Seems easy enough, but which wire is the feed to the reversing lights. I am having great difficulty in finding a wiring diagram which indicates the reversing light feed.
I attach photos of the rear light cluster and the wiring plug. Can someone please tell me which wire is the feed to the reversing light?
