1. usually the outer two pins are the switch contacts
2. wire one side of the switch to earth
3. yup, one wire to earth
4. can't see any issue at all
Hope that helps!

As above however please consider this.....
EDIS has know issues with under bonnet heat, as a 7 suffers much more than the donor this component is best placed in the cockpit/ under dash area,
whilst the Megajolt is a little less heat sensitive it will still benefit from the cooler environment

Sorry Steve, misread your first post.
Looking at the Haynes manual I'm not sure now...it shows the switch with 2 wires Black/Blue and Black.
I think the Black is the switched earth for the actual lamp itself, but the Black?Blue wanders of to a multifunction switch and an auto-transmission
inhibitor....?
Looking back, this maybe why I didn't bother with a reverse lamp. That and the fact it wasn't an SVA requirement (may be for IVA though).
