Help With Reverse Switch Relay Install HELP!!!

I know this has been beaten to death so I apologize before hand.

I have the old reverse lights not working problem and have done the searching and I am trying to fix it using the relay method suggested by IceMark. Thanks for that by the way IceMark

Anyways, all the R/G wires I find are in one bundle and they are all hot when the headlights are turned on so I'm obviously looking in the wrong place. I found these wires up by the drivers side kick panel high up towards the steering wheel column and facing towards the back of the car.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me some hints on finding the correct R/G wire. I'm getting sick of lying on my back with my feet in the air. Help please!!!

You can find the correct wire in the harness running to the rear in the drivers kick panel.

That is the area I am in but I am encountering numerous R/G wires. The ones I have found all are hot when the headlights are turned on. Based on a thread I found in a search these are not the correct ones.

There is a bundle of wires heading into a hole in the sheetmetal that looks like it heads to the back but no R/G wire in that bunch, just G/R.

Any pointers in which of the bundles I should be searching? Thanks for your help

Maybe it will be easier for you if you look further back.

The harness running to the rear runs under the piece of masonite wood that runs under the carpet all the way back along the drivers seat and everything.
