Best Answer

There is a backup switch in the gearbox. When you shift into reverse, the gear box switch contacts the switch and lights the white reverse lights. If you find that the reverse lights don't work it could be that the switch is not being triggered by the mechanism inside the gearbox. This is providing that everything else is working; wiring,bulbs,etc.

What type of jeep wrangler do you have tj yj ect vin 2bcce814xhb504355?

The YJ was made 1987 to 1995 and has the square head lights. The TJ was made starting in 1997 (there was no 1996 Wrangler because the 1997 model came out early). The TJs have the round head lights again like the older CJ Jeeps. They were replaced by the now current model that has the round head lights also but has the grill sloped back & the other major redesigns (like the 4 door option).
