Yes... They get power from the coil and the switch is in the tranny.

what colour should the wires be? and does the coil one go on the #1(green) or the #15(black)
what colour is the trans wire, also is there a ground in there?

Its all black and goes to the coil positive.
hook it to the low tension side (green) and you got yourself a kill switch.... that only works in reverse

Positive current flow actually starts from the positive (#15) coil terminal; through an 8A in-line fuse; through that hole to the reverse switch in the nose of the transmission; from the switch back though that hole into the engine compartment; to a Y-splitter; and then on the the L and R reverse lights where they are grounded at the tail light assemblies.
Between this hole and the reverse light switch, both black wires on my car are inside a black sheath/sleeve to keep them together. I'm assuming that was stock.

| How about the rubber grommets that protect the wires going through the firewall. I have three different sizes. I seem to only find one. ANYONE?? |

i think all the holes are 16.5 mm and the grommets are the same for the tail light wires and some holes in behind the dash.
