You have a shop manual? wiring diagram?
On your car the lights wire comes up into the left kick panel connects to the under-dash harness, and goes up and through the bulkhead connector, and from there down to the transmission neutral safety switch. The switch wire comes back up, through the bulkhead, and picks up switched power, at the radio connector on some cars.
WHY do you need to hook them to the shifter? IF you have a good neutral safety switch now, and it's properly hooked up, you don't even need the switches on the shifter.
Bear in mind that the switch on the transmission is PROBABLY safer, because the shifter can get out of adjustment, and so the trans might be in gear when the shifter is in park/ neutral.

I have to hook the lights to the shifter so my back up lights come on.
You missed the point. Question, do they work now? If so then install the shifter and they should still work through the switch on the trans.

back up light harness normally goes into the wiper harness - position C (black wire w/tr) in the bulkhead connector. The second wire goes into the lighting connector W (black wire). See where they go into the engine compartment bulkhead connector: they come out the same place interior side

bad sport is right though
changing the shifter shouldn't change if they work on a mopar as the selector eccentric in the trans will do that when going through the PRNDL
