No its supposed to be silver on the inside all that carbon buildup is disturbing the air flow and could damage sensors, if its all black it needs to be cleaned. Just follow the directions on the can.
Spray,wipe with rag,and try checking your bulbs

Your reverse lights are not working due to a bad reverse lamp switch, I will bet. Get a new one and swap it. Mounts to the back of the tranny right above the drivers axle.

Remove driver side wheel, remove the fender liner, and the reverse light switch will almost literally be staring you in the face on the trans. Unplug the wires, unscrew the switch, screw in the new, plug it in, turn the key on and put it in reverse to test the lights, put the fender liner back on, then the wheel, and you should be good to go.
