VW reversing light switch

In this video we're installing reversing lights into our 1976 crew cab.
Reversing lights were an optional accessory back in the day, but they're a necessity in modern traffic.

Rob, thanks so much for the video on reverse light install for the Bus! Even though you posted this 2 years ago it really came in handy today as I'm restoring my 72 Transporter. I was able to trace out my switch location and the wiring. As a result I found the in line fuse holder missing the fuse and wire to the coil.

You've helped a lot. I have that switch on my gearbox but wasn't smart enough to figure what it was for.

Thanks for that. I have your DoKa's son - the 1980 T3 (T25) DoKa, also in red, and reverse light switch issues after gearbox work. Keep it up.

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing. Must order a kit and have a go myself.

To confirm, type 2 vw bus "if I was to go on reverse" there is no light appearing beside the brake lights?

Rob - what size Allen key (wrench) does the blanking plate take please?

A big one if I recall correctly, 9mm or 10mm
