Quick search, I can't guarantee this is the right one: https://www.europaparts.com/reverse-...12919823f.html
My recommendation is a couple/few of things:
1) If the shop gave you a printed receipt, check on there and see if there is a part #...
2) Go on a site like ectuning.com or my favorite: fcpeuro.com, enter your cars information, then give the part a search.
3) If you feel comfortable with it (based on what I've read, read for yourself please) jack your car up, remove the driver side wheel, find that switch - remove it and check to see if there is a part # on it proper. If there is a part number on the switch you remove, you will know that it's the one you need.
The difference between the ones you find online are likely oem / aftermarket. OEM are generally more expensive and more reliable, the one the dealer will likely provide... but you can get away with aftermarket parts depending on the part. I've never dealt with a reverse light on my own car personally, but I do have several aftermarket other things on it. Mainly because I'm a broke college student; If I had the $ I'd probably go for OEM on most things... but just like name brand clothes, some things are just overpriced for the brand. As long as you do a bit of research, you'll be able to make an informed decision.
Word.

I recommend purchasing from FCPeuro, if for whatever reason the part is incorrect, they have a fantastic new return program, although I believe that is the part you need.
This is as far as I go.
Take care, emd023.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, however, I wanted to check my fuse box before I purchased this back up/reverse light switch. I have found the fuse list online but I don't see any reverse/back up fuse in the list. Why is this? Would this use the same fuse as the tail lights?
