The first domestic (U.S.) built car I have seen with "back-up lights" was a 1958 Chevrolet Impala. The center light was white of the three "bullet" tailights. Other cars may have had them as "add ons" purchased at auto accessory stores

When put in reverse Back up lights do not work Brake lights and tail lights work fuse is good checked bulbs no power please tell you what to check from here?
