You can fit it yourself if you have the right tools. Literally took me 5 minutes on my sister's 206, and that included removing the old switch. Pretty sure there is a guide on here too.

I went for about 4 months without reverse lights. It's a nuisance at times... Would have to do a lot of parallel parking and cars would sit up my a**e as they wouldn't see the reverse light:\

I agree with you,I believe it's time to do a how to for this,do you think you can do it? since your sister still got her car.
I tried to use lack of reverse light as an excuse too.. I replaced the switch the other day, you don't see the light at all when reversing! I reversed into a black fence a few weeks back..
Change your reversing bulbs.
It should be good enough to avoid hitting a fence!

They've got standards in, LED seem silly. It was a small black fence lower than the rear window, lol
