Either way round, no difference.
Have you checked the bulbs are ok and if you have 12V at the bulb holders when in reverse.
Also do you have a good earth at the bulb holders.

I have a problem with mine that unless I hold the gear stick hard in reverse and I mean push it hard towards reverse the lights dont work, might be the same problem?? Anyone know if you can adjust the switching point?

Yes, I think you can adjust it. I had a quick look in Rave but couldn't find anything, may be it is Haynes.

The switch can be adjusted on a 200 but can't on a 300.

Same problem I had, switch played up as soon as I had the new gearbox fitted, new switch sorted it though. Should cost no more than a tenner.

I thought screwing it in further or unscrewing it a bit is how you adjust it...slacken it off...put the car in reverse...ignition on, mate standing behind and then screw it in until the reversing light comes on....but what do I know? Others say its not adjustable.....dunt screw it all the way in thou

on the 300, you just screw it in and connect it up, the 200 is the one you have to adjust
