Why do you need to jack the car up? The switch is accessible from inside the car, remove the gear stick boot and you should be able to access it.

As he says, the wires are long enough to pull out and install the new switch as well.

I've changed a few E30 reverse light switches, but I've never managed to do it from inside the car! Not unless it's an auto, or without the use of an angle grinder or air saw, anyway!

Thanks Brian in light of what you said I think I'll do it from under the car !
