I am also installing a backup camera that I need to wire to backup light. There is no access I can find to the wiring for those lights. Any advice? HELP!

Those tail lights and turn signals, for that matter are unit construction. Originally designed and marketed by TruckLite. Other companies make them now, as well.
The lamp assembly has a lens glued to a shell. It contains a non-replaceable bulb. Incorporates a water tight plug in socket on the back of the shell. 2 terminals for turn signal or backup lamp. 3 terminals for tail/stop lamp.
Remove the lamp as an assembly by carefully prying out of the rubber mount ring with a thin flat blade screwdriver or similar. Spray some windex as a lubricant if tough to pry out. You will find the wiring plugged into the shell. Water tight and corrosion resistant. The bulbs burn a long life as well. Very popular on Semi trucks & trailers.
Available on Amazon and most auto parts stores.
