Thumbs up quick fix i think sorted the reverse lights

well ive put it back on & it seems to have done the job its not 100% cuz if i put it in reverse i have to keep my hand on stick or the reverse lights go out but i think if i remove the washer on the switch & replace with a thinner one it may be ok for now at least
