Angry Backup lights not working

Has anybody had this problem. I changed the Bulbs but they still won't work. I tested all the other Bulbs(brakes, blinker, running tail lights) but they all work fine. Is their a sensor that could possibly be causing this?

I have never looked for it but I believe there is a reverse switch and my guess would be that it is under the gear shift.

I couldn't locate the Sensor after removing the shifter and boot. I also checked the fuse. This might be a trip to the dealer.

Default Problem resolved

Their is a sensor located on the side of the manual transmission. The part costs only $25 from the dealership. Very easy fix after you figure out its location.
