    Yep, passenger side of gearbox there are two wires connected to a switch. Check they are connected.

    With your ignition on, you should get lights in reverse. If not then pull the two wires off and connect them together. This should give you lights. If not you have a problem in the light circuit. Investigate further. If you do get lights then you have a problem with the switch in the box.

    in my experience, it's mostly a bad terminal on the box, from road grime etc.

    get a can of electrical contact cleaner, disconnect the wire from the terminal, spray it all over, wait 10mins and try it again.
