    Since I changed to manual transmission I no longer have reverse white lights go "on". Just bought a pair of Angel fog lights (with purple light rim of course) to use with manual switch for reverse driving light. Are the inner two back lights supposed to go on when not using back up lights? My electric man said if they go on, the rear back light will always be in the "on" position.

    I'm completely lost... maybe it's the lack of coffee, but I don't understand why you added lights. Did reverse lights work with the automatic? If so the manual transmission most likely has a reverse switch you can wire to.
