Ive been searching all the forums but i cant find anyone that's had a similar problem. I'm pretty sure the owner before me converted the vl to a manual and didn't bother hooking up the reverse switch, i wired the switch to the pink and light green wires on the plug near brake booster but now the reverse lights come on when its in neutral and in all gears..but turns off when in reverse?? im thinking shotty switch but does anyone know if it could possibly be another problem before i track down a switch?

this happened to me after my mechanic replaced my manual gearbox, he had the two switches which are located unerneath the car on the gearbox, around the wrong way, i swapped them over, and presto, it works fine now hopefully this helps u out Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
