Lol should it have an earth?!?! Generally speaking a switch has a live and a switched leg which should go to your reversing light which should have an earth on the fitting! If you have a test meter you should easily be able to find the live with the ignition on

Although the glow from a fuse blowing would probably be better to see with than a sj reverse light

Tom mate, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter.

A switch is usually just a switch... unless it's got a diode built in, which I doubt, it should work either way around mate.
Although to be fair my reverse light switch only has 1 wire lol

Its not necessarily that the switch is under load, its just that it will probably take the same load whichever way around..

I think the technical term is that 'its not polarity sensetive'
