Default Back up camera

Currently I have my aftermarket backup camera wired into the reverse light wire for power. I just upgraded to LED reverse lights and they seem to be interfering with the signal of the camera because now my picture is fuzzy.

Where do you think would be a better place to wire my camera to?

If you have the towing package then the harness to the 7 wire trailer plug. If not, you my still have the wiring. It ends in a plug above the spare I believe. That circuit is thru a relay in the power distribution box.

You're saying one of the wires on the 7 pin is for reverse lights?
Any idea which wire?

Yes the 7 pin. The 4 pin is only trailer lights. The wire on my 2011 is Gy-BN all the way from the power distribution to the connector. It is pin No 7 which is the center pin.
