I saw a backup camera that replaces a license plate light on Ebay. Has anyone used one?

Carguy - I have one of the shallow ones (that Relentlessone noted is needed) I purchased off ebay but never got around to installing. PM me and I'll send it your way.

Hey Chase did you have to modify yours to fit at all? I had to grind down the tabs that hold it in place to fit over the thick plastic, and then cut part of the trunk handle where the camera mounts.
Yep, had to dremel is a good bit to get it to fit. Was a bit of a pain but well worth it. The only issue I have had is that it didn't fit super snug so there is a little big of room for water and other cr@p to get in there... giong to have to figure out how to create a seal around it.
