Lightbulb Rear Camera

Dont know if this fits in this section, but my question is: Can I install a rear camera in the key hole of the trunk? and see what going on back there on my Kenwood CD monitor?
I was looking at this supra at the track and he had this.
Thanks

I talked to Rotary Rasp about his and from what I gather he is installing another camera or moving this one...the keyhole location is not great for real backup use as it is too far to the right and there and the key hole is recessed

I have my backup cam installed on the right license plate post but I bought another cam with infrared that is much larger and I'll be installing it in the center of the Rotary Crest near the bottom of the bumper just like Flyboyindy.

I'll get you pics if I can

With that said, I was clearly going for the cool factor when i installed it.
here you go came from this short thread: https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?p=1162780
