Anyone know where to splice into the reverse light wire to activate the bumper lights when switching to reverse?
I'm done with my install except for the above. I'll post picture later today.

looks good color matched - nice going! Glad to hear you have solutions in the works!
I couldn't find a hot wire on the trailer wiring. Already have a relay, 3 position switch (on, on when in reverse, and off) and fused power source. Just need the input to the relay for reverse.

The center pin on your trailer plug is the reverse light just FYI
Mods move this if you feel necessary. Plans may have changed with my 200 and will likely be selling my uninstalled RLC rear bumper with tire carrier. It has been powder coated ($375) and located in VA.

Since I ordered a sixplug and then bought 7 conductor wire, I just ordered some more 8 plugs. My lights and double bed liner came in, hoping the bumper will follow.

Moved my rear camera today to a location under the spare on the swing out. Threw a quicky version together as a proof of concept and was pleased with the view so time to fab a finished model out of a little thicker material. I've attached pics showing location, bracket view and actual rear display. Just for reference the rolling seat is 5' behind bumper. I used thin aluminum on prototype for ease of cutting / bending n in reality it would probably work just fine.
It's here

Congrats, let the fun begin 
My generic lights fits perfect. The wire is recessed into the housing.

I count 13 pieces all told.
Took me 30 min just to pull all the bolts out.
It's going to be a fun night of painting.
These appear to be 'plain' (zinc?) bolts. Do I need to replace with galvanized or are these mostly rust free?
I have to scroll up and see what size the chassis bolts are, mine didn't come with any.

So 6 of 5/8" by 6" + two washers + lock washer + nut?
Thanks for the video earlier in the thread @ohsix .
TLC bolt count:
2 x 4 x 5/8 (regular) (recommend grade 8) wing to frame
2 x 4 x 3/8 (carriage) wing to frame. I used galvanized.
2 x 5 x 5/8 (regular) (recommend grade 8) or m18 x 120 10.9)
4 existing bolts reused from the rear tie down / tow points
4x 1 x 3/8 carriage bolts for the wing / bracket join. I used galvanized.
8x m10 x 30 grade 10.9 or 12.9 if you can find them.
LX can drop one wing worth, as it has to be fabbed so one of each 4” bolts.
I'll update this when I get it in <edit - updated above). A bit of a problem with the passenger side bracket and the AHC pump/reservoir I'm working thru right now.
<edit, no solution of the AHC bracket on the passenger side, will have to create a custom bracket>

I went and looked at the tables, I need to go find 8x grade 8s for the 3/8 bumper/bracket. Didn't think about those, but they need to be max as they are a breaking strength part (the load is perpendicular to the bolt). Maybe the included are grade 8, I didn't look closely.
