Default Help with back up camera wiring

Hi, this is my first post so feel free to correct me of I mess something up. I recently purchased a new stereo for my 1992 es300 as well as a backup camera. I figured that the best way to wire the backup camera was to have the power sliced into the reverse light wire (besides, the monitor needs the reverse wore connection to turn on automatically). The problem is that I don't know which wore is the reverse light wire! I have tried to find the solution for several days now and am hopeful that someone here can help.

You should be able to figure out the color codes of the reverse light wiring, by looking at the wires attached to the backup light bulb sockets in the trunk.
