What colour are the positive and negative reverse light wires in bmw a f32 UK

Installing a reverse camera and need to tap in to the reverse lights if anybody knows what colour the wires are that would be a big help, thanks

I don't know if this will help for this issue...if wiring diagrams aren't here, I know they're somewhere. Wish I could help more.

Use a DMM to check for continuity between the wires and a chassis ground. While on the subject, I'd connect the negative to a chassis ground, knowing the propensity for the connectors to the rear lights to suffer a failure in the ground connection due to being undersized for the current load.
