i had this with my car after i bought it it was a reverse light switch which cost me (from memory) about $150 installed... but that may have been cheaper/more expensive cos i got it done as part of a service...

Shane mate, DRIVER may be of some assistance with this. I know with mine there was a plug from the gearbox to the wiring that needed to be fixed. That was disconnected and a plug was made up by Jovan for me, and it was plugged in and reverse lights worked. For automatics, and Gen3's I am not too sure, but given Jovi has both of those he may be of some help
