Think that camera could splice into the OEM mirror monitor ?

Dunno, it's got a power wire, ground wire, and a video out wire.

you can buy the mirror with camera in after market stores. Recently seen video on YouTube I'll try to find the link. It was showcasing the entire kit almost plug and play. I'm sure if you buy just the mirror it would work. just need to locate the video wire.

i do have the back up camera. I broke the mounting bracket to the GPS so I jerry rigged it to the mirror. As a short time solution. Auto dim still works and video screen from back up camera fully seen.

huh? Why would I power my raptor style lights to my reverse lights? Lol

Edit: I assume you were talking to someone else about the reverse lights. All good

Also forgot to post that I installed the door sills yesterday when doing the raptor lights as well. Only the passenger side was done due to the tape not sticking very well on the second one. Didnt want to peel the backing off the third one and be screwed once it was off. Used the leftover 3M tape I had for the one on the back door. I bought some more 3M tape today which i will use on the drivers side Sunday when I get to use my gfs dads garage. Anyway here is a couple pictures of how it turned out. They were originally chrome but I plasti-dipped them white to match the truck better. I would say they turned out good.

Check out my build thread for updated pics once the rest are on. Cost me $35US + $15 US shipping...$50US total, it was a little over $50 after the exchange rate to Canadian. Hopefully no one jumps on me for that lol

eBay, they were on sale over christmas break. Told a few members to make some offers once the price went back up and they were able to get good deals. They are wired to the interior lights, once the door is open they come on and door shuts they go off

Yesterday I install on my factory ford tonneau cover a release cable. It never came with one and now both sides are pulled at the same time and it works great. Cost me nothing except black wire electrical tape and my dogs release lock.
