Default Reverse light backwards on 92 honda civic

Well, after doing a tranny swap (5speed) my Reverse lights are backwards now. When i have it in gear or nuetral the light would stay on and when i have it in reverse the light would turn off. Some topic says the reverse light switch is on top with a whole bunch of wires coming out, but there is two. Does the reverse connect to the speed sensor or the other one with one wire coming out? I know i kinda fucked up the speed sensor because i lowered the tranny with the speed sensor on and two wires came off and one black wire stayed in and got stretch out. but i put the pins back in and the speedotimer still works.

The reverse light switch (assuming it's a 5spd) is on the front of your tranny near the vibration/torque mount. It has two wires coming out of it.

Well, i looked at it and everything is connected and the wires seem fine. I probally better off just taking out the bulbs.
