Hey guys
I put on one of those LED under tail gate strips yesterday and it works great except for the reverse light.
I cannot find in the tail lamp where the reverse light is getting power.
I put the LED reverse connector to every one of the wires coming out of the tail lamp and got nothing.
Any ideas?
Here is the exact one I have if that helps - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N30TFDI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Got it on a Lightning sale for 12 bucks shipped.

I tied mine into my backup camera
now my backup camera is tied into a light green wire that is in the wire harness that runs to both tail lights.
Quite honestly i don't remember when i did it or doing it at all, but yea light green wire here.
Make sure you have the truck in reverse when looking for voltages

It's the light green wire in the harness coming down the driver frame rail to the back of the truck. Dark green is the right turn signal/brake light, light green is reverse.
