For anyone doing a manual swap or in need of fixing their backup lights, a manual reverse harness is needed for your reverse lights to work.
I tried out the reverse lights for the E30 M3 (Part no. 23141220284) which look nearly exactly the same for the one I needed for my base E30 (Part no. 23141220263). The only difference I noticed is the colors of the wire (same scheme however) and the ends for the harness were a little different but functionally the same.
I have confirmed now, they both work exactly the same, yet the M3 harness cost about $12 opposed to the E30s part which cost $40.
CHEERS! :D
