[Vwdiesel] WANT: reverse light switch 86 Golf 1.6L Na 5-sp diesel

[Erik Lane]

Is there a way to use the cheap switch in place of the
expensive one if I'm willing to lose the upshift
light? Tho I don't know for sure that my switch is bad
- I was troubleshooting my lack of reverse lights and
in the wires near the back of the engine I found the
wires had been rubbing and were broken in a couple
places. So I gotta fix that first and then see what I
have...
