Default I need t5 help



The classic guys couldn't really help me out, I was hoping you guys could.

What are these. I believe the two prong thing to be the reverse switch. What is the other with the harness?

One is a back up neutral safety switch and the other is for back up lights. I think the one with the dual threaded prongs is for the back up lights.
