Default Rear sensor install

I'm wanting to get another rear bumper from a salvage yard or something(and front too with fog lights :/). A white one to match my truck, and if they have one with the holes already predrilled from factory, or if i have to myself, i wanna get the rear back-up sensor things. I have a touch screen aftermarket radio in my truck and it has wires on it already marked for that reason...sooo... what what be a good brand or whatever to get, where to get it, and about how much would it be.Where would i have to run it and how would I route it to my radio from the bumper? What do i have to do to hook it up to my reverse? any advice helps, and if there is already a thread on this can i get a link.

Thanks!

EDIT: If need info, my truck is a 2006 xlt.
I didnt know where to post this so i thought stereo would go along with the radio- to wiring it to the radio.

Your aftermarket head unit probably has an input for a rear camera, not the sensors. Ive never heard of one that interfaces with the sensors

Well like King Nothing said we know of rear camera hookups not rear sensor hookups.

OK. Cameras will not be in the bumpers. You can find aftermarket ones on eBay, Amazon or many other places. There are many to choose from so read the reviews that people write. Then make your own decision.

Default Camera

That one from Edge looks very similar to this one from Amazon:

Amazon.com: TaoTronics® TT-CC17 Waterproof Color CMOS Car License Plate Frame Mount Rear View Backup Camera with 8 IR LED Night Vision (170 Degree Viewing Angle / Distance Scale Line / Zinc Metal Casing / Black): Car Electronics Amazon.com: TaoTronics® TT-CC17 Waterproof Color CMOS Car License Plate Frame Mount Rear View Backup Camera with 8 IR LED Night Vision (170 Degree Viewing Angle / Distance Scale Line / Zinc Metal Casing / Black): Car Electronics

Only difference I saw was $200.00
