Re: Reverse lights arent working..
The short answer is, the circuit is grounded/open. All you have to do is find the ground (or open).
From fuse 13 underdash fusebox, follow the yellow wire with a red stripe. It should go to one side of the reverse light switch on top of the transmission. The other side of the reverse light switch is green with a black stripe, From there, green with black goes to the reverse lights, then grounds in the trunk area. It would be easiest to start at the reverse switch connector, and with the car off, probe both branches of the car harness for continuity to ground. This will help narrow down the search. You'll need a multimeter.
