| Installing a new wiring harness. It's a tight fit to install the reverse light wires on the transmission nosecone and I haven't been able to do it. Is there a method to installing these wires with the transmission still in the car? Thanks. |

Some of the aftermarket switches are longer making it a very tight fit.
Try needle nose pliers to slide the wires on.
