I didn't want to take the interior out if mine so took the rear lights out and looked at what wires went to which bulbs then used a test lamp to find which was the live to each bulb.

I followed the wires down to where they go across and under the rear of the car & splined into them there with solder joints & heat shrink and a few crimp connectors.

Some of the wire colours in the guide were not right for mine but most were. I can't remember which weren't now.

I've got an ORA rear bumper so can't help with location of the plug but a plug that flops out and gets shut in the rear door might be an idea.

agree - you would need to fit in addition to the current 12N black socket a 12S white socket or a modern 13 pin socket to have reverse light capability.. these also give you options for charging batteries or running fridges so if you have a trailer tent or want your trailer to have a battery to run a beer cooler or lights then this is the way.. quality of 13 pin connection in my view is much better than 12N/S
