Tranny reverse light help!



Ok due to the almosy non-existant nature of a Scirocco in my hometown of 
Mobile, Alabama I put a tranny out of an 84 Jetta in my Scirocco 5 years 
ago. The pins on the back-up lights are different so the lights no longer 
work. Well I hot wired them to a little lighted switch under the dash so 
that I could turn them on when needed. Only thing is I have moved and the 
way I have it wired is not authorized by vehicle inspection. So if you have 
a Jetta (any >80s model should do) would you take a look and help me out 
with the info I need so that I can wire my back up lights to work when I 
shift into reverse.

the connecter has slots for 8 pins. The Scirocco (at least mine) has only 5 
pins, the Jetta tranny has 6 or 7. The pins are numbered on the plastic 
connector under the rubber boot. If you would give me the wire colors for 
each number on the connect.

Example

Scirocco                                 Jetta

   1  2  3  4                         1  2  3  4
   __________                         __________
  |x  x     x |                      |x  x  x  x |
  |   x  x    |                      |   x     x |
  -------------                       -----------
   5  6  7  8                         5  6  7  8

This may not be exactly right I won't be able to check for 2 weeks. Any 
advice is appreciated. If I don't get it rewired the only alternative is to 
get a new Scirocco tranny.

The info I need is like:
1 -- red
2 -- black with green stripe
3 -- none
4 -- brown

etc.

I can't even drive the car on the streets until  I get the lights to work 
like they are supposed to.

Help get a Scirocco back on the road.

TIA
