A reverse switch is an electrical component that allows the direction of current flow to be reversed, often used in applications like electric motors. It typically has multiple terminals that connect to the power source and the load, enabling the user to change the polarity of the voltage supplied to the motor. When the switch is activated, it alters the connections, effectively reversing the motor's rotation direction. This mechanism can be implemented using various designs, such as a double-pole double-throw (DPDT) switch, to achieve the desired effect.
Replace the bulb first, if this does not work try the reverse switch.

Reverse light switch bad or out of adjustment.
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.
Could be switch on gearbox, wiring or bulb.
The problem is the reverse light switch. It is located on the top of the transmission that should sloved your problem.
