Thanks!
Yes, that confirms that the circuit is functioning, so, you can forget about any fuse or rheostat issues.

Your problem is the bulbs and/or the sockets.

The reserve light doesn't work because of the accumulated debris on the fuel sending unit.........most likely..........and you'll have to remove the rear seat and pull that unit (need a big socket) and clean it with Brakekleen. That will restore function of the reserve light.
