camera is simply extending what you have. Some of the cameras have 4 wires, some have 5. Just pick any color wire you want to use to extend the wires you have, and then make sure to reconnect the other end to the corresponding color you used.

Awesome, thanks!
Here is a video that helped out a ton for me.
Dissent Front/Rear Bumper install instructions (LX)
I don’t think your bumper is gonna fall if it I would not go that route. FWIW I just recently realigned my whole bumper because I wasn’t happy how the tire carrier was sitting on the strike plate and found it super easy third time around. I just looked everything and set the position with a...

User @linuxgod has great information that I used to create a plug and play harness that goes in between the vehicle harness and the trailer plug harness. It is a really clever approach that works well.
I've seen posts here for camera wire routing too. I haven't done mine yet though.

Thanks, I've been called a lot of things but clever hasn't been one of them
Parts list for the 5-pin trailer splitter is here - RLC rear tire carrier / swing out / jerry can / custom fab bumper - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/rlc-rear-tire-carrier-swing-out-jerry-can-custom-fab-bumper.871580/post-14356747
Wiring diagram and instructions are here - RLC rear tire carrier / swing out / jerry can / custom fab bumper - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/rlc-rear-tire-carrier-swing-out-jerry-can-custom-fab-bumper.871580/post-14358929 which includes the schematic I drew up that has the DT connectors.
Yeah I wish I'd set up an extra pair of connectors in the diagram to do that. I will likely end up just tapping my existing license plate lights since I have my tailgate popped apart to extend the camera anyway. My plan us to clip the ends off a shielded RCA cable for the camera video, then use Cat6 for the 6V camera and 12V license plate power. The camera wires are ~20 AWG. Cat6 is 23 AWG and has 4 pairs, so I figure if I bind the pairs I'll effectively get 4x 20 AWG wires which should cover me.
You could probably just ground the license plate light to the bumper, since it's all mounted to the frame. Only question is given the paint/powdercoat thickness if you'll get a good ground.
Side note: not just for Dissent, but I wish all the manufacturers would include plug-and-play wiring options for these bumpers. Seriously at the point we're dropping $4-5k, cutting and splicing just feels wrong.
Speaking only for myself, I am not criticizing the company, the people or their product.
However, in my experience assembly of their rear bumper with the instructions currently on their website involves a lot of trial and error, and which shouldn't be necessary.
It arrives as a big jigsaw puzzle. If it wasn't for the helpful members of this forum, it would be incredibly challenging to figure out how it all goes together, and do it in a reasonable timeframe.
I don't know what I would have done without help from @radman , @tbisaacs , and other mud members. As responsive as the Dissent team may be, they aren't responding on weekends, which is the only time I can block out large chunks of working time, and as a result is also when I get stumped and need help.

Does any one have an suggestions for what storage box/cooler to get for the Rear Aluminum Accessory Tray swing out?
A few Wishlist items:
- I want something that is preferably a cooler
- I want something that I can lock (it doesn't have to be fort knox)
- I want something low key: I live in a pretty safe place, but when I do roam, I don't want something like a Yeti that just yells "steal me".
- not crazy small, but not hella big either
- bear resistant would be a nice to have
- waterproof
I'm thinking about this case:
www.equipt1.com
Not sure how well it would work as a cooler.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Also, how are people tying these down? I really just want something that someone would have to work a bit to pull off. I know someone determined with some bolt cutters I'm not going to stop.
Any ideas?

I have a similar Zarges AL box. AL is probably not good for cooler like properties as it conducts heat too well. Great, lightweight, secure box though.
After heeding all suggestions from folks here, I made some adjustments and I finally got around to the electrical stuff today.
Actually, I did not order the Roadvision combo lights. I got these on Amazon for $20. I just sealed the edges with Flexseal tape to make them more waterproof. The wiring diagram is inaccurate on the box and outside of that, if they break, $20 is not too bad for combo lights.
I ordered Roadvision lights directly from AU for about $100.
