Reverse light wiring

I've installed a pair of rear led pod to supplement the factory reverse lights. I want to tie them into the left reverse light so they turn on automatically. Anyone know which wire on the 2018 F350 is supply power for the left reverse light?

thanks!

I'm sure someone will chime in with wiring diagram wire color, but there is a better option. The trailer connection backup light connector is near the hitch frame on the drivers side of the spare tire. If you have the 5th wheel prep kit from the factory, it has the in-bed plug tied to it. if you don't have the 5th wheel prep, the connector is just sitting there with dummy plugs installed. Take a test light and find the reverse power to the trailer connection and splice in right there. That way, there is no risk to your built in reverse lights (should a failure occur in the pod lights) - you have two separate power supplies to your backup lights (and it's easy to get to).

Reverse wire is located in the "six" wire connector
