I use to have this problem. I've got an s2 r33 too.

Basically the switch in the gearbox for the reverse lights was screwed. Got the new part and had my mechanic install the switch as I couldn't get to it. It's impossible to get to it without dropping the gearbox slightly (just loosen the bolts holding the gearbox up a little). The switch screws in.

Marvellous... cheers mate, I feared it would be something like that... where is it located, if it's easily described?

accessible from under the car... sorta... right side towards the top of the gear box. You'll notice a few plugs up there. Kinda hard to explain where exactly. It's a real bitch to get to. I spent nearly an hour trying to get it out before giving up and taking it to my mechanic. He had it out in 15mins. (put the car up on the hoist, dropped the gearbox a little, then he got me to wedge a block of wood inbetween the tranmission tunnel and the box, then lever it away a little so he could get a socket in there).
