Aftermarket Back-up Camera. Rear power connetion?

Hi, I have a 2000 s500 and I want to add a aftermarket reverse camera. Can you please tell me where the wire hook-ups for the reverse light is. I'm planning on wiring to these lights as the camera will only work on reverse. I've checked the back and there is a connector with about 6-7 wires; some for brake, some for night, some for reverse, etc. They are all color coated. Can I just hook them up to these wires? And if I can, witch colored wires match the reverse lights?

I don't know much about cars...

Open The Trunk Then Turn On The Key Dont Start The Car Then Put Car In Reverse Then Ground Your Test Light And Start Poking Wires Till One Lights Up, Then Take Car Out Of Reverse If Light Goes Out Then Thats The Reverse Wire Truth Is Its A No Brainer

Have Fun
