Okay i HAVE searched, and this made me think i found it:zer...age=1

But i've been trying to hook it up with no success. So im pretty sure i see the connector for it dangling next to my transmission (my car came 5spd its not a swap) but i don't see where the hell it goes. It has the green/blue wire and and green/white wire coming out of the back, they go up to the middle plug next to my passenger fuse box. Where are they supposed to hook up to? It looks like it should just plug in somewhere but its dangling, i actually have three of them and none are hooked up, but the car runs fine i just don't have any reverse lights.I don't mind splicing the wires and hooking them up either but again what do they need to be hooked up to?I checked my reverse lightbulbs and my fuses, they're all fine. I'm pretty sure it needs to be hooked up to the transmission somehow right? How the hell else would it know it was in gear? There is only two connectors that are actually plugged in, ones big and looks like the vehicle speed sensor, and the other one sits like 4 inches above that and has 2 yellow wires coming out?Any help is appreciated guys thanks i just need this to pass inspection soon.

Here you go.

This is where the plug is located at. If you don't see these plugs right next to fuse/relay box, it has to be somewhere around that area.

You see green and black wires? They go to reverse light switch. Green and black are not original colors, so don't bother.

Original colors are Green/Blue & Green/White. Green/Blue is constant boltage as you can see.

Here's the overall view. First, locate 2nd plug from the top that has 8 wires coming out. You can go from there. If still doesn't work, it's something else.
it is the connector with the 2 green wires
