Wiring

Post by Steve A »

I have fitted a lucas boot mounted reverse light which has two wires coming from the back. The gearbox i have has the reverse light switch fitted to the front again with two terminals i think? How all this is linked up? What size cable do i need to use? As you can tell i haven't a clue about electrics :roll:
Thanks Steve.

Green wire from A4 fuse to the switch and green/brown from the switch to the light's red wire. The lights black wire goes to the body using a ring terminal on one of the boot hinge studs.
For the wire I used:

The proper bullet tool, makes it so much easier than messing about with solder.
