Backup camera and marker lights

Installed backup camera and replaced tail and marker lights

Mind sharing a link to the camera you used?

Did you replace just the lenses, or the entire fixtures? Looks great.

You can get smaller display which would make it cheaper. They also have ability to add side cameras. I doubt I would do those however

Yes, I replaced the entire fixtures and swapped in red LEDs from superbrightled.

That looks like a really nice setup. I like that it has an observation feature for when it’s stationary too. Will it record video like a security camera? In one of the pics it shows the camera above the door and a person looking at the monitor panel.

Would you mind posting a link to the lenses and LEDs you bought as well? I’ve been meaning to do the upgrade for quite some time.

LED were these

The LEDs were hair too long, I would maybe check out some other styles they have. Definitely get red though, the clears will glow pink through the lenses

The camera doesn't have any memory backup so no recording available out of the box as far as I know

Thanks for the tip on the bulb length. When you replaced the fixtures, did your rivet holes line up for your new rivets?

[BimmerRacer]

They did. The hardest part was trying to push the wires back into the body of the trailer.

Does the camera need 12V power? If so how did you power it? Did you use the wires to one of the marker lights? (I had read that some folks had done that). Thanks!

Yes, the camera needs both positive and ground.

The positive feeds from the light directly below it. The ground is riveted onto the trailer body under the camera gasket
