I’m installing a wireless reversing camera to my 2017 Dobbie. I want to take the live feed to the camera from the Reversing Lamp wire in the rear light cluster. However, I’m unsure which is the Reversing Lamp wire. There appear to be 7 wires going into the light cluster socket.
They are (in no set order),
Solid Yellow.
Yellow/Black.
Green/White.
Black/Red.
Solid Grey.
Solid Green.
Solid Black.
I don’t have a multimeter or a wiring diagram so can someone give me advice on which colour wire I should use as my live feed?

I’m going to assume the solid Black wire is the Earth wire for the light cluster. If it is the earth, would it be adequate to use as an Earth for the camera?

At the other end - the camera screen - I was hoping to get its live feed from the cabin interior light into which 3 wires entering it.
Black (which I assume is Earth)
Grey/Blue.
Red/Blue.

Is it feasible to use either the Grey/Blue, or the Red/Blue wire as the ignition controlled live feed to the camera?

I’d be obliged for any help.
