Default help need to install rear camera install - wire color

I'm in the process of installing aftermarket receiver with rear camera for my wife's 2007 Lexus IS250. I need to tap into the reverse light wire near the dash for the rear camera. I assume the wiring is going through the driver side footwell fuse box but can someone tell me where and what color wire I should tap into? Thanks in advance for your help.

I did more search and came across this post.

Yellow wire under the dash is the correct wire to tap to get the reverse signal?

Why don't you use multi-meter to test it out.

I ended up testing it with the continuity tester and the yellow wire pin 23 posted by Jrod5150 is the correct reverse wire to tap into.

Installation almost done.
