Bridge the 2 wires connected 2 ur switch with a piece of wire and switch the ignition on,  if the lights come on you have a faulty switch,  if they stay off you have dodgy wiring or bulbs,  or printed circuit boards

If it is a 90 mph per hour wind and you drive your car at 90mph downwind, if you stick your head outside would you feel the wind?

PCB? How would that affect a reverse light? I thought that was just switched off the gearbox (via the reverse light switch)?
