The easiest place to tap into the reverse light circuit for installing the Hopkins Endurance # HM47180 on your 2023 Ford Bronco will likely be behind the taillights themselves, but the harder part will be finding the right wire.

You'll need to have a friend sit in your Bronco with it running and in reverse (I'd put the parking brake on for extra safety) and have them hit the brakes as well, while you using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the wires for the one that only gets power when the reverse lights are on. It will likely take going from reverse to park multiple times to confirm you have the right wire.
