Where can I tap into Reverse lights at front of van..

[woscarr]

Hi I just finished installing a new stereo system in the van that needs to tap into the reverse lights. Tapping into the reverse at the back of the van is ok for the back up camera and easy to find.. But where do I tap at the front ? One of the kick panels I imagine, but which wire is it ?

I just installed a Alpine IVA-w205 with backup camera and a pair p2's box with 400w amp. I also installed a TR7 trigger and PAC radio replacement interface for non-on star/bose sys. And changed the rear view mirror to one with a intergrated 4" lcd screen.

Audio is working great, now to work on the video side of it next weekend. Istall the back up camera and wire from the fron to the back of the van, ect...

So it would be really nice if I didn't have to run a wire from the front to the back for the reverse trigger.. The Alpine needs it to change to back up camera automatically when car is placed in to reverse.

Thanks
Wayne.

A follow up...

As it turns out I will be tapping the reverse lights at the driver side tail light and install the module in the compartment behind the rear aux plug/air compressor control unit.

I plan on pulling the fuse for said rear aux plug, relay a switch at the front console. I will setup a double relay as this way I can manually switch on the rear camera and reversing the van will also automatically activate it..
