You do know that the back up lights get their juice from the hot side of the
coil. So with out having the motor in, you are going to have to run a jumper
off the battery.

The sockets are a bit loose and one of the welded in nuts is missing on
the right base. I think I can clean and tweak to get them in better
working order. I just wanted to be able to replace them with repops
while I work on the originals. I have the same problem with the back-up
light housings. I can find lenses and seals all day but no bases and
the sockets are very twitchy. It may be fairly easy to cut the sockets
out of the back-up lights and put in replacements though.

All the outside lights are working now except the back up lights. Looks
like I need a new reverse switch. Should be stabbing the motor
tomorrow. Have to replace the fulke hose while it's out. Sucks that no
local shops carry 7mm hose. I bought 1/4" but it "feels big".
