Default 3rd brake light back up camera

I've seen threads showing members with the back up light incorporated into the 3rd light. I was wondering if there is a member who knows of a member or a vendor that would do this for resale? I have checked out the how to do on the subject. I am not handy with the sodering iron and would be willing to pay someone to do it for me. i also feel there is a demand for this item.

No vendor I have ever seen, but their is plenty of room back there and it shouldent be too hard of an install. you can also take your car to any custom audio visual place, they will be able to do it for you.

Thanks for the info. I have thre louvers over the back up lights and a frame around the plate in Yellow. That is the reason for wanting to put the camera in the 3rd barke light.
