1999 TJ

No.

Check the taillight bulbs and wiring, sounds like there is a short, and from you are describing I would suspect the reverse light is shorted to a taillight.
 
I have a 99tj.

No
 
Not sure. Basically what is happening is when you engage reverse it turns on the rev lights and it is also somehow tied in to the tail/running lights. This normally happens when you have a short between circuit. Try disconnecting one taillight then the other. By doing this you will start to eliminate things from the possible causes.

The front fog lights are probably getting power through a rear tail light that has an internal short or is incorrectly wired. That's the most likely cause.

If not that, power for the reverse lights comes up the engine harness from the trans to the connectors at the top of the firewall, then connects to the chassis harness and runs to the rear lights via the driver's side frame rail. If there's a short in the harness, it would probably be there at the firewall.

But my money is on tail lights.

Did you just start on the LED swap? Did they work before correctly before this?
