Back-up lights

My backup lights work fine when I am locking/unlocking the car with the FOB but do NOT light up when I put my car in reverse.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Backup light switch on trans. Fairly common. The good news? Fairly easy to change.

Anyone know where I can get brighter reverse lights? Mine are too dim to see with at night.

I put in higher wattage halogens from a local custom shop for around $15 or so. They work pretty good. If you do a search, one guy spliced in sockets to accept headlight bulbs. Now that cooking with gas!

Well, I have blackout covers over mine, so the clears won't help. I just want brighter bulbs to shine through the tint!
