Backup light wiring '03 Safari

[MJC]

Happy Labor Day One and All,

My Safari has the LED tail/brake light/turn signals. Two LED units per side. I want to replace the lower red LEDs on each side with white units and wire them to the backup light circuit. The manual indicates the trailer is prewired for backup lights (a black wire). I removed each of the 4 leds looking for an unused black wire and there is none to be found. Does anyone happen to know 1) does the wire actually exist, and 2) where it is accessed? I searched the forum and could not find a reference. Thanks for any advice on this.

You can go to Airstream.com, pick North America. Search their site and find cust service. There should be a phone number and e-mail address.

A fellow named Jim from Airstream confirms there should be a reverse wire, and that it should be behind the taillights. I sent him an email explaining (again) that it is not there and asking where it might be hidden. No response. Does anyone know where the harness for the taillights is run upstream of the taillights? Or have another idea of where to look for this elusive wire? Thanks in advance for all ideas.

Regards, Mike
