Default Hard Wiring Tow Hitch for 99 RX

Hey guys... don't have the tow package and I just put on my hitch. Now it's time to wire her up. Anybody with experience know the easiest place to draw from? The module I have says it needs a battery connection, is there a 12v near the rear I can splice? I'd love some directions but in the least if anybody could point me towards a wiring diagram that would be awesome!!!

First confirm with dealership what does Lexus recommend for your model. At certain year, the harness changed.

For my 99, I bought the isolating module from Lexus. It attached to the 12v acc plug in the rear and tail lights. The whole thing was plug an play .. no splicing but I had to undo the trim.

dont splice into the wires. just get the iso module because it will save you money and headaches in the future. i worked at a lexus dealer and i had to fix that problem alot.
