Due to LED lighting I think I need to be careful where I make connection on vehicle. not certain If I can tag into reverse light harness or other location on the vehicle

Expert Reply:
To get a 5 flat harness, like # 20036, installed, you will definitely want to be careful while installing. You will need to use a tester, like the # PTW2993, to make sure you are connecting to the correct wire. Once the correct sire is found, splicing is pretty easy with the included quick splice connector. The 60-inch wire also covers just about any vehicle.
