New to the forums, not to modifying vehicles though. Just bought this hatchback to have something to play around with as my 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 is pretty much modified as much as I can without throwing a bug turbo on it.

Anyway it has a 94 Integra LS engine in it and Im throwing a turbo on it..but that's another thread. My issue is my reverse lights, they work only when all my lights are off. Once I turn my parking lights or headlamps on they shut off. No idea why, just replaced the housing and bulbs. Wires look fine. Any help?

It's either shorting out somewhere or the wires are in the wrong location in one of the pigtails. You are going to have to get a wiring diagram and check all the placements of the wire terminals in the connectors. It might just be a ground issue

Wires are hooked up correctly, as the reverse lights work fine if the other lights are all turned off. They come on when the car is placed in reverse. As for a ground issue, seems to be hooked up correctly. There isn't a grounding wire running to the body just off the pigtail into the wiring harness.

No one else have this issue?

Still can't figure this out. My reverse lights only work when the car is on, and no other light has been turned on.

Still no ideas? The grounds are fine checked them today. None of the wires are hacked up. I pulled the reverse switch on the transmission and held the button down. Reverse lights lit up, whenever the running lights or headlights are turned on the reverse lights turn off still. No idea what is causing this, the service manual doesn't say much in helping with this issue either.
