Reverse lights not on
I recently replaced the bulbs in my taillight because the reverse lights didn't come on. They still don't. I think it has somtehing to do with the gauge cluster being automatic because the guy I brought the car from did a transmission conversion but didn't change the clusters to manual. Is this right?

partially. When you do a conversion, there will have to do some wiring with the tranny to switch reverse lights on. with some searching you'll find out how to fix it. I got the same problem but never bothered me enought to fix it.

except for the cluster part you are wrong. the tranny has a sensor on it up on top that switches a relay to turn your reverse lights on when you shift into reverse.

or you can do it the ghetto way like my friend did. he hooked a + wire to a constant 12 v source, then thru a switch, then to the backup lights, then ground as usual on the - side of the bulbs. but make sure the switch is the kind that lights up once its on, you dont want the backup lights on when your driving
