I got wireless parts from Ebay and powered from reverse light. Front monitor uses glove box light power.
The camera is Sony CCD + wireless transmitter & receiver +foldable 4.3" monitor. The camera received is not fitted in licence plate light socket.
I have to modify the size. A large hole has been drilled to fit the RCA cable
and all transmitter with cables attached inside the trunk.

This is a set of wireless reverse camera. The transmitter sat within the left side of photo #5 with cable tires and tape. The black cable with cable tires is the power connect to reverse light. The left license plate lamp was replaced by the camera unit. I have to cut off and file some parts of the plastic to let it fit into the position.
Drill a 11mm hole for RCA cable to go into the trunk. Seal the surrounding to prevent water and rain.
I put the receiver unit inside and under the front speaker grill. The power is from the glove box lamp with cable going alone the window side.

thanks for the pic's, so did the clear oem lamp lenses get replaced with the clear lenses that the camera came attached with, but the shape of the after market lenses looks different?

I retrofitted a wired back-up camera in my coupe. I had to wire it from my trunk, all the way to my head unit. Get creative where to hide the wire. I went through the trunk cover, under the passenger seats, under the carpet, behind the dash, to the unit.
My camera just screwed onto two screws that hold the license plate.
