Question Rear Tailgate Reverse Light

Hi all, I'm trying to make good use of the EONON unit that came with my car and I'm in the process of installing a backup camera that I ran the wire for in conjunction with running the wire for my trailer brake controller.

I got to the point where I have the rear tailgate all opened up and I see 2 wires running from the center to each lighting housing. ON THE LEFT, there is a yellow and an orange wire. ON THE RIGHT, there is a green wire and an orange wire. I can't figure out which is the reverse light wire!

I tried searching extensively and I found one video that showed it was definitely one of them but the author of the video wasn't that clear.

So which is it? Which one is the reverse light wire? I originally thought the orange wire because the reverse lights would be running to both sides but I've heard it might be the yellow (which would make it green on the other side)?


Just want to know before I tap it...thanks!


Pic below where you can see yellow/orange on left and green/orange on right side.
