Check the socket ground wire connection--it may be loose or badly corroded. Remove the connection, scrape any rust away--rub the bare area with grease, then place a 'star' washer next to the metal, add the wire connector, then the nut.
You didn't mention if your Neon has a manual or auto tranny but either of these must have a switch in them to turn on the back-up lights. Check a service manual at a local library or buy the Haynes service manual to have on hand for the next problem.

i am getting 12 volts and they are new bulbs
If you have 12 volts at the lamp socket, the only conclsion I could reach is the socket contacts for the bulb are dirty/corroded. Do you see 12 volts across these contacts or, are you getting 12 volts from center contact to ground? Charlie
