Monitor I got on e-Bay.
Edge #98201
license plate frame with back-up camera.
Test of the camera and monitor.
Camera wiring coming into the trunk behind the left tail light.
Old mount for the Edge CTS that is no longer being used.
Dusk shot, license light off. The frame is sitting a tad crooked.
Dusk shot, license light on. The frame blocks the license light.

I was going to get a different camera, but decided I'd try and work
with what I had; which was some LED strips that were laying around. I
figured I'd
see if they would work
as a license light when attached to the camera frame. After that, I'll
tweak some holes to get the frame sitting straight.
Test with LED strip (6 led, small), and an old license plate.
Test with LED strip (SMD5050, 6 led). This one is a bit brighter than
the first one.

Frame notched for the wires and the hot glued to hold in place.
Made a "194" adapter to plug into the stock light.
All done.
Reflection of the LED strip in the daylight.
Dusk; lot of light hitting the ground.
Not quite dark out. My inner voice is telling me the light is too
bright. I will give
it some time and see how I feel.
