is it a 6spd?... if so look on the passenger side of the transmission and there is a 2 wire sensor, that is your backup light switch... unplug it and jump the 2 pins together on the harness end and turn the key to the on position... if the reverse lights come on then your switch is bad, its about $15-20 for a new one

possibly a problem somewhere in the gear selector or the wiring from it to the reverse lights, you might have to get out the wiring diagram and start checking... did they work at one point and just stop all of a sudden?

I know they worked before I put the led bulbs in. now the oem light bulbs wont work in reverse either. checked all my fuses and the wires to the backup bulbs look great...
