Help Reversing lights

My reversing lights don't work. I reckon it's the switch because the auto-dimming mirror is meant to undim when you engage reverse and mine doesn't.

Where is the switch located?

The actual gearbox - bummer, I hoped it would be under the gear lever!
Is it hard to change do you know?

No Bob, not too bad, just move all the cables aside, maybe loosen the coolant bottle and move that aside, unclip the reverse switch connector, and socket the switch out.

It happened about 3 weeks ago. No pics yet, I've not had a chance to but they will be coming soon!
