Can anyone confirm the colours of the wires for the reversing light switch on the side of the T5(mines a 95 car) specifically the loom wires before the connector, i have two bare wires i believe they are green and black, looks like they've been pulled out of the connector at some point
cheers

On my 97 it is:-
white from ignition switch into fuse 8 then green to the switch on the gearbox then light green/brown to the lamp then to earth.

Wiring along the top of the tunnel can be a little confusing as it includes wiring for aircon which most of us don't have.
