Reverse Light Wiring

Trying to tie in a Opt-7 tailgate light bar for reverse light.
Trying to figure out which wire is the power wire for a 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road for the reverse tail light.
Red wire or White wire w/black or brown stripe.

 

Red as white with black stripe is almost always ground.

 

Tagged, going to be putting on an LED light strip also...

 

VLED makes an license plate reverse light that is really bright and super easy to install. I love mine. But yes, red if it only needs one wire. The VLED has a dual t splice so you clamp both. It is polarity sensitive so if doesn’t work one way, flip the wires. They also have a brake light option. Could run both, one too and one bottom

 

Thanks for your post... I have my light bar installed and the reverse wire from light bar does go to the red wire of the tacoma reverse light. Everything works great on my Opt-7 light bar. Looks great and very bright. Vehicles behind will surely see it.

 

Glad it worked out!

 

Did you tap your ground to the white? I tapoed red to ted and bkack to white last night and Im getting nothing. Trying to figure out what went wrong

 

Did you get this resolved?

 

Yes I did. After tracing wires all the way, I found a liise connection! Easy fix in the day light

 

Got any pics?

 

FYI
OP was done with this in September 2019 and hasn't returned.

 

Thanks for posting this, saves me time from asking, i too installed and OPT 7 light bar and need to connect my white wire, do you think they attach enough white wire to use mine is 20 ' long, i am going to put it inside the wiring harness plastic tube.
