Default Issues wiring in Reverse Lights

I'm finally getting to these reverse Lights but Im not sure if I'm sourcing the correct wire...I've tried to find pictures but it seems most guys talk about a lime green wire for the reverse Lights but all I have is this darker green wire(circled in picture) and isn't doing **** when I put 12v to it. I've checked the bulbs, they're good. Also checked fuses...unless I'm having a brain fart and missing something obvious. I should also note that I no longer have a neutral safety switch anfter swapping to a TH400. Is there possibly another source under the dash that can be tapped?

Here's the wire I used to switch my headunit to backup camera when my reverse lights come on in an 06/07 truck:

It's the far right BCM plug C5 and it's the light green one next to the gray/black
