Check bulbs and switch
Check the backup light switch.
check the ground for the lights
I would check the wires just behind the light. I had the same problem and the wires were broken a little just wiggle them as the lights are on.

check reverse light switch on transmission.
First check the bulbs, then check the fuse, then check the switch on the transmission, and last check the wiring.
Check the circuitry to the backup lights. The same fused circuit is probably used for both brake lights and backup lights. As you go past Reverse, the backup light probably is turned on briefly, causing the fuse to blow. It's just a thought, but I'd think it worth checking.
In the Toyota Matrix, the fuse for the backup lights is typically located in the fuse box under the dashboard or in the engine compartment. You can find the specific fuse for the backup lights by referring to the owner's manual, which provides a diagram of the fuse box and identifies each fuse's function. If the backup lights are not working, check the fuse for continuity and replace it if necessary.
check your fusible link, its connected to your positive battery cable,check for burnt marks or it might be swollen.
get a friend to check them when u have the can in reverse.. or dont start the car and put it in revers and check them urself
Check grounds Check loose wire on switch Check defective switch
Reverse switch on trans. is, most-likely, broken or stuck on somehow. You need to check it and/or replace it.
