12v source for front camera
Hello All, I am getting ready to replace my head unit and add back up and front cameras (tired of touching curbs). I've got a plan for the rear camera, but I am not sure where to pull 12V and ground for the front cam. I've done some searching around, but can't find a clear answer. Does anyone have suggestions for a reliable source for each around the front of the car? running lights maybe?
It's on a 2010 manual 1LT base.

The camera I got only has power/ground out of the 4 pin plug with about a 2 ft lead, so no way to reach them to the HU. I could loop power to the convenience wire on the video signal cord and tie it to the 12V at the HU. I would just need to find a good ground by the camera then, which may be easier than figuring out which is a constant 12V source near there.
