Redesign of the back up light switch

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

theres 2 different types of the backup switch. one is like $7, the other is 
like $25. the more expensive one also has contacts for 5th gear, and is 
designed to kill the upshift indicator while in 5th. afaik, you can still 
get the original switch and install it in the original location (not the 
newer spot).
