Have you checked your back up bulbs to see if they're burnt out?

Does your horn work? Sounds stupid, but that damn fuse is tied into the back lights somehow.

Does the horn circuit have power? If it does you're good, but if it doesn't that might be the cause of your light troubles. Again, sounds stupid, but trust me.

doesnt sound like you've checked that horn fuse out... check the bulbs, fuses, and that switch i guess, and keep us posted.

was the fuse blown? you said you put new bulbs so they shouldnt be burnt out. the switch is only around $10 at autozone/oreillys
