reverse lights!

any one have step by step instructions on how to wire up the reverse lights. including picture diagrams. i need to know all switches and locations. i would like to start under the dash and see if all components are in place and find what is or is not working. as of now i have them wired to a toggle switch. i want them to work with the shifter on the column.

Re: reverse lights!

Since you have a toggle switch hooked up, all you have to do is hook the two wires to the factory back up
light switch to make them work with the column.

Do you have a stick or automatic?

Re: reverse lights!

The backup light switch on the automatics is part of the neutral safety switch which is located on top of the column close to the floor.
