No reverse lights
Noticed I have no reverse lights. Changed the two bulbs but no change.
Any suggestions?

Re: No reverse lights
FYI, you barely need to jack the car to get to it, though it would be simple at a WMD. Bill B. used to loan out a special wrench that made it much easier to replace, just ship it back to him (or the next guy) when you are done with it. Don't know if he still does that?
That and the high-mounted brake light are a very common switch failure, so 99% chance it is a simple fix.

Re: No reverse lights
Are you able to show what tool (and length) is used to reach the reverse light switch without a lift? Thanks!

Re: No reverse lights
I bought a 7/8" combination wrench. Cut off and used the open end at about 5.5"
