I have a 92 civic and I cant get my reverse lights to work. The bulbs are good, fuse in fuse box is good and wiring is ok. Does any one know where the direct connection are if I want to wire direct. Im not really sure how they turn on when I put it intto reverse, thanks

are you manual or auto?  i know for manual there's an actual sensor on the tranny itself.  on my car (1995 eclipse) there's a brass looking bolt on the tranny w/ a wiring harness attached.  just two wires.  easiest thing, unplug the harness.  bridge the two leads.  if the lights come on your sensor's bad.  just unbolt it and got to autozone or checker's or something and get a new one.  should be like $30.  don't go to your dealership like me.  they ripped me off...  basically all that sensor does is connect the two leads and turn on the reverse lights when you shift into reverse.  i dunno 'bout your car but i know w/ eclipses the sensor has a tendency to go bad.
