As for the reverse lights always being on, There is a switch on the shifter that turns the reverse lights on and off. Check here first. Or it could also be that the same joker who hacked the headlights screwed up the reverse lights, too.

Re: need help with lights
you wont be able to find the harnesses/wiring new, so you'll have to trace out whats in the car now. luckily, there's one harness for all the front lighting and its comes from the driver side (C100, smaller driver-most half). I'd take a look at the diagrams here and begin testing for connectivity; these cars are getting older and you could have a broken wire, loose connection, or any number of things. If all the wiring tests out good, you may have a bad switch in the dash

Re: need help with lights
hmm, I have bought off the guy in the past, not sure whats up there... well good luck to you moogs. Google is an amazing tool and there is no part you cannot find using it. Try googling camaro berlinetta wiper pod and if that doesn't work try another variation of it, alot of times you will find killer deals this way too.
