Rear spot / reverse light was created by Blackout

No reverse lights working on my Jim, think the switch may be broke but can’t see to fix it. I do have a spare 4” spot.. I was thinking of running it through the hole where the spare wheel mount goes (I have no spare mount) just wondering if anyone else has done this and had any issues. Have seen a few foreign vids on YouTube and they have done it so definitely do able. My bolt fits the hole, just a case of running the wiring

Your problem is more than likely to be the switch on top of the gearbox. It's a quick easy swap but you can only just see it with the two wires coming out of the plug on top of it.

You need a reversing light for the new MOT rules I'm afraid.

I’ll see if I can check it again, thought the reverse lights was for vehicles 59 plate onwards. That’s a pain lol
