Having rehabilitated the back up light switch as per Art's fine tutorial no more than 18 months ago on my 1993 244 Classic, I was perturbed to find the reverse lights not working again - and of course just in time for my annual inspection.

Highly recommended to all. Now to locate the water leak in the trunk...
