Which is the reverse light wire?

Scoured Google images and can’t find a connector that looks the same. Car is E92 pre-LCI with LCI tail lamp conversion.

Figured it out by using a multimeter and testing the pins with reverse engaged. See pic. The confusing thing is there are two black wires with blue stripes.

How strange, but yes BMW did indeed use identical wire colors for the backup and brake circuits on the right tail light, I just confirmed via the diagrams. Anyways, yeah its pin 3 on that connector
