Tranny Conversion - Reverse Lights

About a year ago, I did a conversion to my 87' (10/86). The car was an automatic to which I converted it to the Nissan 5spd from an 88' N/A.
The conversion itself went fairly smooth. After turning wrenches, turning the key did not go so smoothly.
I discovered a tech write up which answered my questions regarding the electrical bypass for starting the car.

At the time, I wasn't interested in making the backup lights work. I just recently got popped by the local PD issuing me a written warning for no backup lights.
The tech write up explained what wires to jump in order to make the reverse lights work however, I feel like there is a loss in translation.

Xenonz31's instructions for 87-89 read as follows.

You are looking at the pins on the inhibitor switch FROM the tranny side ? not the end attached to the engine!!!

To START, jump the Black/Blue (B/BL)with the Black/Red (B/R)wire

If you want to start only when clutch is depressed, and for the cruise control to work, perform this jump at the clutch switch (you may need to use a universal switch rather than the Nissan clutch switch). I haven�t done this yet.

If you want the reverse light to come on when you put car in reverse, connect the blue wire from the reverse light switch on tranny side to the B/W wire on the inhibitor switch. Then connect the black wire (this is the ground wire) from the reverse light switch on tranny side to the B/R wire on the inhibitor switch.





I suppose I need clarification on what the difference is between "tranny side" and "inhibitor switch".

Currently I have two harness plugs available by the battery area. An 8-pin and a 4-pin connector. The 8-pin is where I was able to bridge points with a jumper wire in order to make the car start. The 8-pin connector has 6 wires running to it, one of which is a Blue/white wire that I believe runs to the reverse lights. When I bridge the Blue/White to a black, the reverse lights come on and stay on. Going in and out of the Reverse Gear has no effect. I got under the car and verified that the reverse switch on the tranny is working properly (continuity test). The harness that plugs into the reverse switch consists of a yellow/black and a Orange? (it looks faded) wire. Skimming through the wiring diagrams, I'm having a difficulty tracking down that color combination in retrospect to my 8-pin harness… let alone the "blue wire" that Xenon refers to in step four of his instructions.

Anybody have any insight? Any quick fix? I prefer not to if the fix is simple but, I'm half tempted to create my own sub harness to make the reverse lights function.
