Reverse Light Wire 5th Gen - What colour?

Post by vanzep » Sat Feb 10, 2018 1:32 am

Im going to be fitting a set of parking sensors in the rear bumper on my neighbours 5th Gen tomorrow afternoon.
He says he is having trouble parking the lude as its such a long car and doesnt want to damage the rear bumper&lip
So ive bought a kit and just need to make sure i tap into power for the reverse light so would appreciate any help identifying which colour of wire it is - hopefully someone will know :)

Any help would be appreciated.

The red one always starts the bomb's countdown timer, so whatever you do, don't touch it. :lol:

I'd wait till I'm there and look see at the time. see which wire goes into the reverse light, get someone to put it in to reverse and pop a meter across it to confirm and there's your wire.

Had a quick look and the 5th gen rear lights are very different to 4th gen where all the wiring goes through one connector- on the 5th it all individual wires sort of so easy to see what one i need to tap into :)
