2002 Mini One Reversing Light Wiring - MINI Cooper Forum

hi there, i need help asap please... im also new to this site so im not sure where I am meant to be posting things as yet so hopefully this is right.

I have a 2002 mini one and have a body kit fitted, i have the reversing light and bulb but i cannot seem to find the wiring to connect it up... ive looked under the back of the bumper but i cannot find anything or see any loose connections.

can anyone help me as to what i need to be looking for and where i could find the connectors, as im not sure if they are just hidden, tucked away or removed.

any help is much appreciated.

Thank You.

Tom.

Should be there behind bumper unless someone has removed the cable+connector?

Hmmm I've looked under the bumper 3 times so far and still cannot find any wires that look like they fit the reversing light. Do you have any idea where they would run through and what colour I would be looking for? (wire wise). Thanks

Hmm I've just looked and I still can't see where the light for the reversing light comes from. It shows side lights but no reversing light.
Thanks again.
