Thread: Replaced tail lights, now reverse lights dont work

I got the spyder tail lights, and installed them, everything works except the reverse lights, they only thing i did was twist them out of the old light housings and then twist them into the new ones...

Any ideas?

Are they spyder LED tails? I have them never had any issues with them try a new bulb.....

They are plug-n-play. Put car in reverse, check the vehicle harness at the lights to make sure you are getting power, then check the light to see if power is getting to it. I suspect you might have some bad lights.

one of the bulbs was in backwards, the other was simply burnt out... that said the wires are loose, the passenger side stopped working after i put it back on, but i took it back off and fiddled with it and now it's working.


BTW... Napa says that the bulb for the reverse is a 3156, the old one that had burnt out (but had worked for the year and a half that ive had the car at least) was a 3157... Im not a parts guy, did someone just put the wrong bulb in, or is there little practical difference between the two?

Nice easy fix.

Look inside the glass and you will see the difference; 3156 is a single filament, 3157 is a dual filament. You can use a 3157 in place of a 3156 (if needed), but not the other way around.
