You will need to use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test all of the wires going to the reverse lights. Which ever one has voltage only when the reverse lights are on is the one you are looking for. Once determined, you can use these Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector # DW05745-5 to complete the job.
Included are video resources for additional information from here.
