My 2022 110 P300 S has that wire as well...I didn't install the checkered rear taillight guards because of it.
I installed my Powerful UK backup lights yesterday. I agree with Jiman01‘s tips.
Hearing the plastic clips crack was terrifying but in the end nothing major broke. I did lose three of the little plastic clips, but the PUK kit comes with four extras so I was all set.
One other wrinkle - my (US spec) 110S P300 has some kind of sensor attached via a short wire to the left/driver’s side panel that I didn’t want to remove. As a result I had to bring a step stool over to rest that panel on so it wasn’t dangling and in the way as I worked on the rest of the steps for that side. Nothing similar on the right - that one simply came off and I set it aside.
Good luck!

As Powerfull team did not export to EU I had to find different solution for reversing lights. And I did (redneck way)! Just for couple of $ and an afternoon of very slow labour.
This solution is not suitable for all rims.

I think it was a "fix" when JLR was having the tail light issues (they were turing off when exposed to brite lights)...that's my guess.
My friends 2022 P400 X and his wife's 2023 P400 X didn't have that wire when we installed the checkered taillight guards.

I have the reverse lights from PowerfulUK and love them. They really light up the area behind you when backing, but in comparison, reverse lights on most vehicles are merely an indicator for vehicles around you that you are in reverse. I have never seen any vehicle that has reverse lights that are meant to aid one in reversing in low light conditions, actually throwing enough light to illuminate the area behind you. That’s why these are are a great add-on.

The wiring is for a cell booster (there are other messages in the forum about it). I disconnected the booster temporarily (no warning messages so far) to install my checkered tail light guards. I'm going to install the reversing lights when the weather dries out here in the PNW. I'll use a heat gun to remove the booster from the old cover and re-attach with two-way tape on the checkered, reconnect and then install the reverse lights.
Thanks for the tips.
