Pre 24th series back up light

Just wondering if anyone has installation instructions or knows what was done when dealers added a back up light. Mine didn't have one so am going to add the necessary wiring while things are open.

I know the electrical hookup but question is how the wiring was routed. There is no extra wire in the normal rear body loom and doubt the headliner would have been touched to run anything extra in that spot.

The 21st series has no empty accessory grommets in the firewall and I don't believe 22-23 did either. Other than the large one at the top where speedo and OD cables exit, the few present are fairly well occupied. Did they cut another lower hole or squeeze a single feed wire thru an existing spot? How about the route to the back. I'm going to protect mine but curious if they just ran a single wire down the frame or did they protect it in some way. If down the frame, which side -- inside with brake line or outside with fuel line -- or something else entirely.
