Hi Guys
UK Owner here and have a question about the reverse light
Because our turn signals are amber we have to make some changes to the light configuration and the revers light sockets get re-worked to be used for turn signals.
All that is working, but what I don't have is a reverse light, and although it is not mandatory I would prefer to have one fitted.

So my question is.. where is the feed for the reverse wiring. I have checked both read lights and there is no spare wires which I was hoping for to power the reverse lights.
But nothing
So does anyone know where I can take a feed from to power the reverse light when engaged?

The Reverse lamps are a very simple circuit with power running from the Central Junction Box through a switch at the transmission on to the bulbs and through the bulbs then to ground. Nothing fancy. Just use the wire at the socket, it should still be there. Black with a pink stripe. Only has power when the transmission is in reverse..

 

I would have though they would have left me the wire but now I have a starting point, just need to track down the switch on the transmission and I can get this sorted
