reverse lights Isue??

new guy here!
I just purchased a 90 formula but in order to get the inspection done I need to fix the reverse lights
the bulbs seem fine and so do the plugs and fuses
where else can I look for the problem?
thanks for your help!

Could Be Your Back Up Lamp Switch.

It's part of the switch on your shifter, if you have an automatic. On the transmission, if standard.
