anyone knows the color code or wire code for the wires that turn on the lamp when SS put on reverse... want to add more lights for better view went backing up at night...any ideas please.

At each tail light there is a white wire that provides the reverse signal. Use a relay as this is a negative trigger.
-
You likely need to install a low current draw relay to provide fused battery power for your extra lights, with the trigger for the relay coming from the reverse light circuit.
-
You would need to provide the relay. Use the white (-) to trigger the state change of your relay and pass through the voltage you need for your new lights that you are adding.
-
When you get your relay there should be a circuit diagram with it. Generally the wiring of relays is standard. You can easily google and get it.

@hrca0434sc if you can't figure it out post up. I'l be back state side later today and do up a quick schematic for you.

Here is a typical relay wiring schematic. Hopefully @WraithSS will confirm or correct my comments. Install a fuse protected wire from your battery to relay position 30. Then install a jumper from 30 to 86. The SS white wire on the reverse light circuit goes to ground when the tranny is put in reverse, so a splice into that wire goes to the Ground (85) on the relay. That will complete the ground circuit and activate the relay when in reverse gear. The +ve power for your additional LEDs comes from relay terminal 87. Ground for your new lights can come from a suitable chassis ground. Remember that LEDs are generally polarity sensitive. Right now I am not near my Service Manual so I cannot confirm about the white wire, but will go with @WraithSS on that!!
