It will be a poor earth connection to the near side light unit, once you engage reverse, there is an easier path for the electricity to flow ‘back’ through the reverse light.

On the light unit trace the wires out and find the earth point, clean it up with a wire brush, dab some copper slip on it and retighten.
 
Cheers mate thanks for the reply [emoji106]
