Reverse light woes - is there a PNP switch on 5-speed S70

Both reverse lights out on my 98 5-speed S70 T5

Is there a PNP switch or is this only applicable to auto trans

Thanks

    There is a reverse switch on the top of the transmission, under the airbox.

    I've done this and there are instructions over at Volvospeed:

    It's an easy Saturday morning project while listening to "Car Talk"! As I remember the most complicated part was snapping the airbox back in place.

    Yes, I believe it is under the air filter housing, on top of the transmission.
