your reverse light switch on the box is probably focked, see if there is constant power coming from it.

Switch is on the gearbox. auto or man?

my car is manual. . . where abouts is this switch located?

[destrukshn]

on top of the box.

i couldnt find any pics with a google search but i'm pretty sure it'll be around the top of the gbox

sorry guys to be a hassle but can someone be more specific in exacly how to fix this. like what in on top of the gear box - wires, a switch or something? to be honest i have no idea how to fix this and is it easy to fix?. . .

turn your ign on then unplug it and see if your lights turn off

This is an EG9 but yours should be similar concept.

Unplug the plug circled & turn car on.

If lights are now off then u know its a switch prob,which is generally located at the front of the g/box where the arrow points to,u can follow the wiring(red line) down to the switch if u cant see it.

If lights still on, with plug disconnected,report back.

thanks CRXer! great help. ill have a look at it after work and get back to you guys. . .

to double check, use a multimeter and check for continuity between the 2 pins on the gearbox side connector. It should on only have continuity when reverse is selected.
