Default reverse light problem

i got a 91 civic hatch.. manual tranny.. and the reverse lights stay on all the time.. it goes out for a second right before i shift it in reverse then comes back on.. but thru all gears the reverse lights are on.. its pretty irritating.. anyone know how to fix it?

Check the wiring in your tail lights to see where the reverse bulbs are getting power from. Maybe they're wired into your accessory circuit or some sh1t. When did you notice this happening?

sounds like they are grounding against something. look for loose or stripped wires.
