Default Reverse Lights Out / Backup Lights Out

Hi all, newbie to posting but a long time reader of the forum. I have a 2012 Lexus RX350 and My backup lights are out. Specifically the white backup lights that are on the rear hatch. I have replaced the bulbs with new bulbs but still no go. I assume there is a fuse somewhere I am not finding, but I have looked for hours between the ones on the engine block and underneath the dash, read the manual, and I'm stumped. I haven't found a thread on here or out in the internets either. Can anyone help me out? Fuse location or something else to try?

Thanks so much ahead of time.

It may be the reverse light switch on your transmission. When you shift into reverse, it turns those lights on. You may need a shop to replace it. I don't know exactly where it is located but they usually screw into the transmission
