It is possible that Winnebago has the proper diagram that will help with this particular installation. I would need to know more about your Winnebago though. The year, the specific trim, basically anything and everything you can tell me.

Otherwise, you would likely just need to access the back of the light. Depending on the light design it could be held on with fasteners located behind the lens. If you can pop of the lens, then you would see screws holding the light on. Remove those screws and pull out the assembly. On a marker light you will have 1 or 2 wires. If there is one wire, then that would be the one to tap into. If it has 2 wires use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to test each wire (while the lights are on) and the one that shows power is the one you would tap into.
