Default Reverse Lights dont turn on...

I have a 92' LS400, As of recently just noticed both my reverse lights don't turn on while engaging on reverse. Noticed this a few days ago when I went from stop to reverse and didnt see any color change of the light as you would see when the white revese lights turn on against the grill of another car. Then later confirmed by someone standing behind my car. My trunk hinge harness looks great. and the light bulbs looks perfectly fine but my only other answer to the solution would be the fuse, but I don't see any specific fuse for the reverse lights under the dash driver side fuse box or in the engine bay fuse box. Can anyone point to me where and which the fuse is located in. Thank you!

how do you know the bulbs are good? yes you can see the filament connected but they could still be broken. i would buy new bulbs first and eliminate that possibility first.

Yea I could try that, Im getting LED ones very soon but wanted to sort it out first. Do you know if there is a fuse just for reverse lights? That would be easiest to check for me if I could locate it.

So I changed the bulbs and its not working, what I was told by a mechanic was that it would be the reverse light switch or back up switch and would be located under the car by the tranny. I tried rock auto and other websites to try and find that "reverse switch" but cannot seem to find it. Can anyone shed some light on this please? Thanks
