Volkswagen: 1974 Super Beetle Reverse Lights, work thanks, fuse

Question
Hello Ron,

I have rebuilt a 1974 Super Beetle and I'm having trouble figuring out how to connect the wires to make the reverse lights come on.  The previous owner had disconnected them - there are no wires or anything left for me to figure out how to make them work again.  Please, if you have any images or resources for me, let me know so that I may make the reverse lights work.

Thanks,

Romeo

Answer
Hi Romeo,

The reverse lights come out from a sensor on the side of the transmission and plug with a fuse into the + side of the ignition coil
