Default Reverse Question

I have a 94 civic Si with a manual trans i recently bought new led tailights and the reverse bulb didnt change but the light doesnt light up.

I know that there isnt a fault in the line cause the fuse is still intact but it wont light up which leads me to believe that its the reverse switch and i dont know the location of the switch anybody know please let me know where its located and if anyone thinks its anything else please let me know.

Thanks

On a manual, the switch is on the transmission itself (on top?). It's the only switch on the transmission. Unplug it and jump it and see if the reverse lights come on (key must be on). If lights don't come on, see if power is reaching the switch. If you have power on both sides of the switch, the wire in the trunk may be broken. I think on the 94 the reverse lights are on the trunk lid, so the wire flexes every time the trunk is opened and is prone to break there.
