Reverse Light Switch, Boxster S

[Mikluuutus]

My Boxster S -2000 (manual transmission) both reverse lights are out. The fuse & bulbs are fine, so I'm assuming it is the reverse switch which is broken.

Does anyone have any instructions how to clean/replace the switch and what is the right part number for that?

I found old link to this DIY on Renntech for the 996 but it doesn't work anymore: http://www.renntech.org/forums/tutorials/article/42-replacing-reverse-lightsback-up-lights-switch/

Thanks for your help!

It is on top of the transmission (blue arrow in photo is pointing to the cable for the switch):
