Do you want to know the colours of the wiring to the lights themselves or do you want a signal wire for the head unit?

If its a signal wire it's the black/blue one under the drivers seat and will switch the head unit to reverse view when you select reverse.

Just connect it to a full time AV In on the HU. You get to see all sorts of shenanigans while you're driving. You can also connect the line from the camera to the HU's reverse connector AND you can have it "take over the screen" when you put it in reverse.

And remember to keep your eyes ahead AND don't feel bad when you watch someone try to follow you into a turn and not make it. Although it would make great YouTube footage!

Good Luck!
