if you mean the wires in the main loom then theres no earth

Also the number plate light jumps off on side parking light
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

theres also no reverse light or choke wire in the loom, they just piggy back off the coil

No earth in the main loom, so the tail light, indicator and brake light earth is just a short run and earths onto the body in the engine bay.

So how does the reverse lights work, they are earthed onto the tail light assy along with the indicators and tail brake. So they must recieve power from a switch somewhere, they cant be onto the coil or they will have power all the time and need to be earthed seperrately.

The reverse light is a hot tap off the +ve on the coil - through the reverseing switch - through the lights and to earth

So power comes from the coil, of to the reverse switch, then to the lights and earth.
