Power for reversing camera

Hi. I have a reversing camera that replaces one of the number plate lights. Where would be the best place to get a 12 volt feed? I know I could use the number plate light but then I would have to turn lights on to power the camera.

Could do. I will have to run a wire from reversing light up through the rear quarter panel and then back down through the tailgate glass. Will be a pain.

Whenever I fit them, I use a high quality cable that has power, signal and ground in the same cable. That way, one cable is required, making it a tidier install. Other end is matched to reverse signal from the fusebox for power and the signal terminated in a new phono connector. Bodsys Brake Bible

For reversing light feed, I would run the wire down from the roof to the passenger side, and connect to the towbar plugs in the left side of the boot.

It's a green wire with brown stripe.
