Thank you very much for the help mate. 

 

So if im looking for a kit it would have to be pre facelift? And the one above I would need the RS headlights. 

 

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

The red wire passes through from one end to the other, so you can pass the reversing signal up the wire to your head unit, or potentially provide power to your camera, or all three.

I have mine unused as my head unit detects reverse from the canbus network, and camera tapped into where my parking sensors are attached.

so are you saying i have to connect a wire in between the 2 red wires to bridge them ?

Lol I had clicked the quote button on another post and somebody spoke to me so I had somehow pressed into your post and replied but couldn't delete it.

It's the detection trigger wire. Used to turn a stand alone display on.

No, what I meant was it runs the length of the wire so can be used to either supply power to the camera, or supply power to the display to switch into reverse, or both. If you already have a reverse wire powering your camera, and a reverse signal (or canbus signal) at your head unit/display, then you don't need it.
