No. You can use the light blue or ignition as the feed, but that and the blue need to go to the switch.
B&M shifter + reverse lights

a yellow butt connector is too large for those wires. I like to use non-insulated butt connector and heat-shrink tube
This is almost as much confusion as I created for myself with my line lock. It's a simple circuit: power, ground, switch, light......
Before you do that, check the harness leading back through the cabin and out into the trunk. From the description given above of the stock harness for the reverse switch, think the reverse wire runs as just a single lead that is part of the harness that is under the aluminum door sill plate on the driver's side that runs along the lower door sill and through the rear fire wall into the trunk and then jumps off the driver's reverse light there to run cross country to the passengers side. So only one wire.

I dont know if this will matter to you but when I put the B&M shifter in my car I had no way of getting a neutral safety switch to work with the original wiring.
In the end I had to put in a relay that went from the shifter micro switch into the purple wire that goes to the starter. Kind of a pain in the butt but its the only way I could get it to work. I had changed out the column to a floor shift column.

I have some 14-16 insulated heat shrink connectors I can use.
I was initially going to find the reverse wire and then run a new lead, but then I decided I should Google it...
I'm not worried about the switch. The first thing dad had told me when he got it was that it'll start in gear.
