What's up guys, I need your help. I've done alot of searching and emailing several people about my Reverse Lights problem. I can't seem to figure it out.

I got a 1996 Civic hatch dx with a k20a2 swap. How do I wire up my reverse lights? BTW I have the Hybrid Racing conversion harness.

Re: Auto to Manual K swap Reverse LIghts

i've read alot of articles on this too and cant figure out a clear answer.

I know you wire up directly to the reverse switch.

question is, the reverse switch has oem wiring into the harness, what pinout is the reverse lights on? this will make the install quicker and cleaner than running wires out to the engine bay.

Re: Auto to Manual K swap Reverse LIghts

Never mind guys, I figured it out. Pretty simple really. Here are the steps:

-Locate the RSX C101 gray plug. Cut Pin 1 & 2. Pin 1 is for the green/black wire, Pin 2 is for the yellow/red wire.

-Look for the green/black wire and the yellow/red wire on the plug that used to be plugged into the auto shifter. This plug has the thick black and red wire you fused together when you swapped the car.

-Just connect both wires together and thats it.
