Fuse 15, according to Mr Haynes, which also covers glove box, automatic level control system, Cruise control, sunroof, dash illumination, head light range adjustment.  :y

It is of course possible that its both bulbs blown.

Also, do rear fogs work? If not, look around earthing of bootlid

Assuming it`s auto, get someone to check lights when in reverse, move selector lever forward and back slightly, if lights illuminate, selector switch needs adjustment.

I had this on my old Omega, it was a broken wire in the loom going to the boot lid, the part that’s on the passenger side in clear view, and I seem to recall the fog light indicator came on when I selected reverse

It's likely to be the switch then. No idea how easy it is to get to though ...... My Astra's is dead easy!  ;D
I would think it's just earths to the gearbox, so if you find the switch, remove the wire & touch it to earth, your reverse lights should come on!

Don't tell Mrs TheBoy, but her little Rover has spent most of the later afternoon going sideways (until I shagged the brakes) ::)
