Trying to install wireless backup camera and while looking in the rear storage compartment I found a black cover with a lot of wires under it.

If like to wire this camera up to my running lights and I'm unsure which wire to tap into.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180124/63ac4f69cae5c1573715a7595640aabb.jpg

Either pull one of the light lenses off or take the mounting screws out of the light & see what color the wires are on the back of the light. PLEASE don't go stabbing holes in wires indiscriminately.

This is what I would do.

I agree .use a test light while having someone turn on n off parking lights. You may also check the pigtail connection for the correct color. I know the green and white are 12volts as I've connected several additional lights to the closet

Thank you. I'm actually at a stand still at the moment. Got called to a job.

Personally I think I'd wire one into a hot wire and install an additional fuse inline so the camera would work without having to have my lights on.
