Default Back up Lights

How do you change the bulbs on the back up lights and if it's not the bulbs what could be the problem?

you need to remove your license plate surround first. then you remove the 4 torx bolts that hold it on. pull out the whole backup plate frame and the bulbs screw in from behind.

You should be able to check the bulbs using the key fob. Unlocking the doors turns on the back up lights - if they are working.

Not bulbs you might check underhood relay 38 if applicable, it is for the backup lights.
