Reverse lights

I have just completed a 5 speed swap on my 91 f250 7.3. How do you wire in the reverse lights so that they work with the zf instead of the E4od? Thanks.

Both of the ZF 5 transmissions have the reverse light switch on the drivers side, high on the case and slightly forward of the shifter.

I know about the plug in on the tranny, but I'am wondering how to wire in the e4od harness into that plug so the reverse lights work. Are there any specific wires on the harness that control the lights? Thanks.

The manual shows Pink/Orange as 12V with key on, and Black/Pink to back up lights. Connect them to the 2 wires on the ZF reverse switch. It doesn't matter which is which.
