    Reverse lights, Clio 172

    Noticed yesterday that when i turn the ignition on the reverse lights come on and stay on. Any ideas where i need to look to solve the problem? Only 2 places i can think off is either the reverse switch on the gearbox or under the gaitor where the wire (i believe) runs too.

    I ended up having to take both bulbs out as not to bring any attention to myself

    For what it's worth what i did notice when i took the bulbs out was 1 of them was smoked over

    They come on with the ignition? Are any of the other lights effected?

    Switch might be kaputt mate. I imagine the switch is near the endplate that houses the final drive like the gtt, disconnect it & see if that cures it.
