Factory has the power coming from the tail light terminal on the headlight switch. That would be the terminal on the switch with a screw rather than bullet terminal receptacles. Powering from the switch means the reverse light will only work when the tail lights are on. If you are one like me that was taught back in the olden days to leave the car parked in reverse gear and hand brake set then you can do that without the light coming on.

I don't remember who posted these templates -- O_D or BDeB maybe ? -- but here is the install instructions for the 48-50 reverse lights.
