Reverse light on GU

[Superoo]

Hi all,
I've tried searching old posts but still haven't had much luck in finding out about wiring up the drivers side reverse light in my GU.
I've had a feel around in the right hand light and there seems to be a few wires in there,are they the correct wires to get the job done?
The other solution is to buy of EBay the complete light and loom but I only want the drivers side reverse light to work as the left hand side does. I still can't believe they only have one that works as standard.
Also while I have you interested to get the rear lens out is it a simple task of removing the two screws inside that rear panel? And then what about fitting the globe and connector to the lens or is all that in there already?
Cheers John.

Hi Superoo
I’ve replaced my rear light and wired them in about a year ago.

Now what you want to do I very easy I will try and get some pictures tomorrow to help you do what you want to do
But in saying that you will need to buy some wire single core around 3 meters connectors 1 pack and a globe holder plus 5W globe.

It’s easy as
You need to remove you rear light from the driver’s side, there are 2 nuts for memory 10mm in behind the jack.

once you have it out Drill out the area where the reverse light is suppose to fit, file it out so you can place the holder locks in or you can glue it in whatever you wish to do.

wiring is easy, go to the left side find the wires to the globe one is + the other is - clip scotch locks over the wires run to the other side under you carpet ,using connectors or soldering iron connect them and put it back together

AS I said I will try and get some pictures tomorrow I’ve been drinking tonight so hopeful this post makes sense for you

Love the step by step & pics.
I wish I saw your thread before I went and did mine.
Makes it faster and easier than searching and testing.
I believe there is wiring in the right hand panel for those lights, but removing the drawers was not happening that nights.

I would be interested to know if there is wiring in the drivers side I did have a look when i was placing the light in but i could find any. mind you it was easy to wire in from the left hand side

no wiring in drivers side/ have had a look at the wiring diagrams

Hi, thanks for the great pics I'll defiantly give it a go.
Cheers John.
P.S. so as your pics show your tail lights also work am I better off buying on eBay the replacement left and right fully wired lights and install them with myself running the wires across?
Cheers.
