Long story short... I pulled off my 4 back tail lights and completely took my dash off and removed passenger airbag.

Haven't put the dash back together yet, but plugged in the ignition panel - with the headlights and ignition switch and running lights etc. and put the tail lights back in so I could drive/move the car.

Now my brake lights and reverse lights dont work. But the brake lightbar works when I press the brake pedal (just not the back led tail lights), The headlights work, the turn signal works, the running lights work (sidemarkers work when signals are on etc etc)

I checked fuses they are all good. I switched the tail lights around to make sure they weren't put back in reversed. I checked the ignition panel to make sure i didnt switch those wires around. I plugged in the hazard switch on shifter column.

I don't know what else could be wrong I'm at a loss. The tail lights were unmodified unopened etc. nothing was changed with those.

Ideas please anyone!!

OK, I'm assuming Federal Elise/Exige, 2006+

According to the manual, the connectors that go to the brake/reverse lights are labeled "RIHC" & "LIHC" (right inner harness connector and left inner harness connector). The high-mounted taillight is connected directly into the brake light circuit through wires only... so if that's working, I'd check your connectors to see if they're firmly seated...
