Reverse Lights not working..??

Hi Everybody-
I was at a party this weekend and a friend let me know that my white reverse lights were not working when I backed the car out of the driveway. I'm hoping that this is just a fuse that has blown but if not has anybody else had their back up lights fail and if so what did you do to fix it? I apologize if this is a re-posting, but I did a "search" and all it came up with was a replacement with LED's option.

2nd question: What kind of Horsepower increase can I reasonably expect from an ECU Flash/Upgrade with a C.A.I. and a 15% pulley? I'm just trying to figure out if the upgrade would be worth it or not as I want to get the most "bang for the buck" from my Upgrade Mods. Thanks.

Check the bulbs, and fuse F13. However, the more common problem is that the switch for the backup light fails. See this thread for repair instructions: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...rse-light.html

Thanks RKW I will check the fuse, bulbs, and switch in that order. I appreciate your willing to help a guy out. The switch swap looks pretty easy and I wanted to pull a front tire and check the condition of my pads anyway.
