Default Reverse light connection

Hi,

Trying to get my reverse light to work.
I have unplugged the socket at the firewall and connected the pink and green wire (I have 12V at the pink), but nothing in the back, so I guess I have to trace the wire.

But my wirediagram shows two switches, is there anything more to it than the switch at the gearbox?? (69 manual)

The reverse light switch is on the shifter of a manual transmission (on the side of the trans); it is mounted to the side of the shifter (under trans console) for an automatic trans. You can get at it by removing the upper shifter plate from the console.

Besides the ignition switch, it is pretty much straight forward.
May be an issues with the ground connection at the lights?
