Default backup lite switch C5

My backup lites work when alarm is set but do not work when manual trans. is put in reverse. Most likely 'switch problem'. How can I install switch myself?

Could be fuse #21 in the passenger footwell. The approach lights work thru a different fuse (#2) I can post a picture of the b/u lamp switch from the service manual if you need it. Old switch unscrews, new one screws in and plug connector back on. Check the fuse first (21).
Here's the picture:

What he said, if it keeps blowing the fuse then it's the switch, easy to replace, took me longer to get the car up in the air!
