Default Reverse Light Harness Hook Up

Finishing up the install on a TKO-500 auto to manual swap, was wondering if anyone could offer some guidance on how to hook up/splice the harness. Thanks!

I guess to be more specific, I am wondering where in the existing wiring harness is the reverse light harness spliced into?

Ah, better question. My car already had that wiring ripped out so can't help you there.

This switch works way better than any others I have tried.

There should be a pink and green wire from the outside of the dash. It has a angled connector. This is for the reverse lights. This is for a 4 speed car. The automatics have the pink/green wire on the shifter in the console.

Thanks that should help. It looks like the switch on the tranny is just a ball bearing that gets depressed when the transmission is in reverse and completes the circuit so I should be able to trace the wires around to figure it out.

Yes just find the pink and green wires and splice in the new switch using these wires and you have reverse lights.
