Could it be a fuse?

you could start by checking the fuses, also check the connections, make sure none of the wires are loose or anything

I checked the fuses the fuse for the reverse lights dont click into the socket, it's easily put in and removed.. i changed the fuses/bulbs and the lights still do not work

Im assuming that you have a 5 spd tranny.....theres a sensor on your tranny that is for your reverse lights...check that out....I bet its your problem.

If you didn't trash the apc lights see if they work now, maybe it's a problem with the oem lights.
