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

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.

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.
