I have a 67 Fastback that was converted from an automatic transmission to manual. Problem is, there is no activation for the reverse gear lights (white) and I can't pass the safety check until this is rectified. How do I add an automatically activated switch for reverse gear that will turn on the reverse gear lights? Is there a kit for something like this?

you have to find the reverse gear switch on the trans and hook it up to your reverse lamps

Seems reasonable....the swap was done some time ago by the previous owner and
when I was at the shop doing the safety, the mentioned that the wires were cut.
May require some new connectors but I hope the shop can find where the reverse gear
switch is on the manual transmission.

Your reverse light switch and bracket may be missing...

Switch is usually attached to the shifter. Here is what is used on a Hurst or Isky Shifter:
