Default reverse lights dont like me...

hey folks... ive had my car since november and i dont drive it much so this hasnt really been a huge concern... my reverse lamps dont come on, nor have they ever.. i read through the fuse/relay section and it called for a rather large relay(cant recall what size now). well i openened my relay box and theres an empty spot.. should i order one from the dealershp or what? i just kinda figured reverse lamps would have a fuse instead

If your reverse lights come on when you lock it with the key fob then it's the switch on the transmission. Personal experience.

Well I just bought a relay for the back up lights today and it was 20$ canadian at Napa.

Weird thing is, my lightsw come on with the fob, but not in reverse, so i bought a new switch and put it in the tranny, still nothing, I bought the relay today.....still nothing.
What else is there?
