Rear 12v Socket

[pingpal6]

Looking to fit a Roadhawk camera hard wiring kit . As the camera it is for the rear window I would like to get to the back of the rear12v socket to connect the kit. Anyone have any idea how to remove the panel. It looks fairly straightforward but I don't want to damage anything?

Remove the metal shelf and then pull the panel parallel with the floor towards the centre of the vehicle.

You could also tap into the feed to the rear LED light. Might be more convenient to wire to the camera assuming it's mounted on the rear window. Make sure you put a fuse in the line though.

LWD light will use considerably less power than needed for camera. May have problems with fuses blowing.

Thanks all. Rear socket will be fine as the camera was powered from there already. The socket is awkward to use as the adaptor sticks out and is always getting moved by boxes in the back. The camera in question (Roadhawk RH-720) has been replaced now for the second time under warranty so my idea is to hard wire it to eliminate the possibility of the adaptor causing the cameras to fail.
