[T3] No reversing lights

Aw geeze! how he's gone and bought a new car and he's lost in it! ;-)

Here I am, getting rid of the Boremobile for an older car for next winter,
my dad's old 95 cirrus, it really a mitsubishi and they galvinized and glued
them  in 95 so they never rust out...

Now for a confession, I've bought a 2 year old Golf SV with a 1.2 (1197) TSI
gas engine and a DSG auto box, having had such great mpg from our hired
Jetta last invasion. It's a lovely drive, lets me rest my clutch leg after a
lifetime of pushing down on VW clutch pedals!  Brisk eough, and I got over
54mpg UK (43 US) on a rural journey the other day, and only a few less on
city roads, unless it's in stop-start traffic.  It's called a SportsVan in
some countries, has more space than a Golf and a higher driving position,
plus some nice extras.  The rear seat adjusts front to rear and is split
1/3:2/3, giving almost as much space as a Jetta wagon (Golf estate).  The
DSG box has a sport mode to flick into, and can be used like a tiptronic
stick if you really want.   There's no handbrake, a hill-hold button does it
for you! The icing on the cake is it's a Wolfsburg car.  I'm loving it!
Anne's got the same engine downrated a bit in a NEW Polo (I'd never buy a
new car, but her Mum left her some money). It's also an auto DSG - well,
we're both getting older, and diesels are coming in for a lot of stick over
here.  The Polo comes from South Africa, where they used to assemble Type
3s.  So all change, and no change left!

UK, and no doubt other markets, didn't come with the reversing lights on the
basic trim - the switch, wiring and inline fuse, bulbs and holders weren't
fitted.  Sounds like you may have a Frankenstein car, eh?  Maybe the 1600
'A' model.  Are the vent wings painted or bright?

Well, no wire with fuse in the engine bay and no wires to the switch on the
transmission.  So, I guess I will have to make my own harness
