Automatic Switch that turns on interior boot light - where is it? Good power source in boot area?

[Cocijo]

Does anyine know where the switch is located that automatically turns on the interior boot light when the tailgate is lifted? I’m thinking of taking power from there for a rear carcam. Any other suggestions for a place to take the power supply from? I don’t want to run a long cable. Thanks

It is really easy to run it across the roof, you’d be surprised. I managed by using an old wire coat hanger to push the cable through on the front and back of the roof liner with ease after watching a MG YouTube installation. The other suggested fitting through the tailgate rubber was also really easy too.

Trust me if I can do it any one can, oh and it’s really easy to do the front A pillar, you don’t need to do it as in the video, push between the top joint and then you can run it down the door rubber and then in underneath to the fuses...
