Default Back up camera wiring

I'm installing a new back up camera on my '12 JKU mounted to my tail light offroad bracket. Which wires power and ground the back up lights? I figured the only time it needs power is when the reverse lights are on anyways.

Thanks!

Not sure, but you could always use a test light, if you don't have one it's a cheap purchase at Autozone or Harbor Freight...and they come in handy quite often

I'm going to do that. I lost my test light in the move a couple years back. Thanks
