Aftermarket Parking Sensors - Reverse Light Tap Location
Afternoon Everyone,
I'm a proud new owner of an IS250 and the first thing that I went out and purchased is an aftermarket backup sensor system. I purchased the same one for my old X5 (So glad to move to a Lexus from that POS) and it was pretty easy to install. Just drill the holes and wire up the harness to the reverse light.
I am looking in the trunk for the reverse light wire, and I have been unable to find it. Under the main center part of the trunk, near the spare tire, there is a small bundle of wires wrapped in a cover. To the left of that, under the recessed plastic cover, there is a larger bundle of wires and another smaller one (which I suspect are the same small wires from near the spare tire). I need to tap into the hot reverse light wire so the backup sensors will activate when I put the car into reverse. Does anyone know which bundle of wires contains the reverse light wire, and if so, what color it is?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
