Try checking the connection near the tranny. Think it's a red-wire.

yes, check the tranny harness and check for bad connections. there isn't much to diagnosing the reverese lights.

as covered countless times, the FC, FD and NA (firt gen Miata) manual trannies occasionally have problems with the reverse light switch gumming up internally and failing,

If the wires are connected then using a relay often helps, or you will need to replace the switch.
