Does anyone know the colour of the positive wire coming from the reverse lamp so I can hook up my parking sensors?

Thanks

Ok I got my parking rear sensor's installed yesterday. All fairly basic that was until I tried to connect it to the reverse power cable. I checked the black wire with a trace of green a suggested and it looked like the wire that carries the 12 volt's, but when I spliced into it didn't work! So I checked it out again and it likes like the right one. So as a precaution I checked out against the earth for continuity and I got a signal. Anyway I found your out was the yellow and green wire you need to connect to to make it with
