Hey guys...

Checked out the bulbs and all the fuses but can't figure out why my reverse lights don't work?

The rest of the lights work... its a 88, manual...

Yeah. I realized that after seeing the fusebox more closely. Description says 84 to 88 fusebox. Wrong, I guess. I left it htere just to see if you would catch it. LOL.

And as an added bonus, I stole your photo!! Thanks.

It ended up being a ground issue, thank you for everyone's help. Shortly after i replaced all the fuses with those dummy light up fuses just in case
