Default Reverse lights don't work

Hello, my reverse lights don't work, I tried changing the bulbs but they both are still good, not blown.

Is there a fuse or something I should look for?

Thanks for your help in advance :D

There's a reverse light switch on your tranny.

back-up lights are on fuse #1 which also controls hazard lights, among other things - the other things that control the back-up lights are a good ground and the back-up light switch on top of the transmission, if it is manual trans or in the shifter if it is automatic trans

Thanks!
My hazards and blinkers work so I guess that rules out the fuse. It's a manual so its on top of the transmission? What does it look like?
