Here's a link to GB Vette's excellent instructions on installing the camera. I used these to install mine and didn't have any problems at all.

I think you might have dropped the wrong link in....unless you have your machine open to the world for sharing your "E" drive.

You should put one like that in your headlights and drive your vette around like it's in a "Need for Speed, or Grand Tourismo" video game.....

I saw one installed lower than in center brake light. Done by a forum member.

A small hole was drilled in license plate. Camera lens was installed just behind it. Excellent job of installation.

In fact the hole happened to be drilled right where a numeral in plate was stamped. The numeral was dark blue so the hole was nearly invisble.

..rickko..

Once you start, it never ends! It's a sickness that can't be cured! But like you said, the fun factor is what it's all about.
I appreciate your comments.
