To be honest - i used speaker wire. Not much current going through there - but I am not an electrician, electrical engineer or anything of the sort. But mine works fine. Good luck, Mike

You can pick up some stranded bell wire at any hardware store, don't get the solid stuff -it breaks too easily.

I used 12awg speaker wire and I just tapped into the reverse lights from the wires that run by the drivers door, I know its overkill just used it because it was laying around ill show pics if you want

Ross, did you hook this up already? I was just wondering what the quality of the picture is. Which kit did you buy as I saw on Ebay there was a crap load of them for sale.

no i havent...between rain/job...havent found the time...still trying to figure out the best way to connect my 26 gauge wires from the camera...think i have to sod it to my extra wire then run it to my tails...never sod before...it wont be this weekend...4-day weekend so we heading to the mountains...maybe the saturday after that...or i'll attempt it the that friday afterwork...
