[T3] Type 3 Reversing Lights

Interesting to read what Dave Hall said about the base model not coming with Reversing Lights.
Mine is a UK RHD 1600A Variant Automatic, therefore the base model.
I have owned it since 1988. It has always had Reversing Lights. They were there when I bought the car anyway.
Is that because of the Auto Transmission maybe ?
Regards,
Steve

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
