There should be some wires coming off of the tranny that the reverse lights hook up too.

You may want to consider an alldatadiy subscription. Costs 25 bucks for a year and you get all the wiring diagrams (and alot more). However, it doesn't contain ANY procedures. Which is ass. But nonetheless, it's worth considering and it's reliable.

the swap wasnt much , unhook the wiring harness on each side of the motor and all the lines pull out the motor, unbolt the tranny which i believe are 17mm and take off the torque conveter, then the flexplate, bolt the flywheel the bolts are just like the flexplate except there a little bit longerput the clutch on with an allignment tool put the pressure plate on bolt the tranny on i made the rear tranny mount by drilling out welds on it and breaking the side peice off and mounted it the next space over, you will need the side tranny mount, the pedal assembly is a bitch to get in because of the top bolt, for the linkage i hade to drill 2 holes where it bolts in, make a jumper on the automatic shifter plugin to keep it in park so u get the key out, and bypassed the clutch safety swich by jumping the large plugs that are on the fuse box

First off, trace the wire down to your reverse lights in the back, and see if that single wire is hot or ground, usually it's ground for light switches.

Then:

Hook your reverse light wire to one of the reverse light switch's wires on the tranny [doesn't matter], and hook the other one to ground [or battery + if it's a hot wire, use a fuse if this is the case]. Viola, you have reverse lights.
