Default Made the A4 to M6 swap. Any way to hook up my reverse lights?

The previous owner before me swapped out an A4 and my Firehawk now has an M6. Is there any way to hook up my reverse lights? I don't really need them but sometimes it's kinda hard to see when I'm reversing at night and I'm also thinking about getting 5% tint on the hatch glass.

Keep looking through the sticky or do a search. I've posted numerous times about what wires are for what. I can't remember off the top of my head, but the sensor for the reverse lights is on the tranny, I believe the left side. and the wires for it used to be connected to the shifter assy on the A4. Find the two wires and run them through the floor to the sensor. Voila.

Here ya go, this will help you out!

If your not really concerned about using them all the time you could always wire them in on a switch. I had to do that on my 86 monte carlo ss when i switched that to a T-5. I tried to wire them into the tranny but it wasnt working...at least for me. And it was legal(pass inspection) to put them on a on/off switch. Just have to remember to flip them off when your done with them. Plus its also fun to flip them on if somebody is tailgating you
just an option
