Rearview Camera Install

[moody_gaz]

I thought I would share this with everyone, I have difficulty seeing much through the canopy so i thought i would install a rear view camera. so i wondered where I could mount it. I thoufght of in the canopy but awkward to wire it up and the glass gets really dirty ( why dont they fit these with wash/wipe). so i was stuck with on the tailgate, I didn't want to drill holes in my new hilux so I decided to insert it into the high level brake light. I bought an aftermarket one off eBay for £25 in case I shattered it while drilling. i had to cut the bezel off the body first then cut the sides down where the camera was going to go as the camera I had was slightly too big to fit. but once i had drilled it, fitted the camera and glued it all back together it looks OK. The camera protrudes slightly as the brake light is slanted upwards slightly so the camera is angled out so it is level (almost!). I bought a Rearview monitor off eBay that clips over the redundant mirror which is connected to the camera. I have a reversing camera also thats tucked up next to my number plate lights thats connected to the satnav unit. I've posted some pics.

Next job.... Parking sensors!
