Yes, there is a reverse light switch, drivers side of trans toward the top rear of shifter housing
It unscrews, if its loose then screw it back in and it should work, if its tight I would just replace it
BUT..........make sure wire connector is not the issue, i.e. loose wires at the switch
One wire will have 12volts, key on
The other wire goes to the reverse light bulbs
The reverse shift fork in the trans pushes the "plunger type" switch closed when in Reverse position, which passes the 12v to the bulbs
Not sure on brighter head lights but test with Headlight switch ON, not using DRL head lights, they only run at about 70% power
