TOE HITCH

Yeah correct but where's the best / easiest location to hack in.

I would guess that depends if you want to be able to turn it on when the ignition is off or not.

Also if you want the switch by the lamp, or in the dash. Personally, I would have it up front, so I could turn it on/off while driving. Simply because I would forget it, and drive off.

I don't know the layout and I'm no electrickery engineer, but wouldnt you just have another wire bypassing the existing g'box switch, with a manual (dashboard operated switch) on that wire?. Slecting reverse makes the circuit with the g'box switch, or you can make it with the dashboard switch.

For legal reasons the dash switch may need to be an illuminated one so it can't be left on while driving - I think its illegal to show a white light to the rear while moving forward

When my gearbox reverse switch failed I found where the wires to the gearbox passed under the dash, cut them and routed them up to a switch in one of the blanks next to the fog light. If you wired the new switch in parallel it would maintain the function of the gearbox switch.

Yes it is the quickest and closest thanks lads
