Default Licence Plate Lights fuse

I just notice that both my licence plate lights are out today on my AU3 sedan. I've replaced both bulbs but still no joy.
Does anyone know which fuse these hang off? I've checked the handbook, but there is no reference to it, I assume they share a fuse with something else, but everything else appears to be working normally.

IIRC, they run off the tail lamp fuse.

I am not aware of any common issues with the number plate lights not working, in fact, I have never heard of anyone ever having a problem at all.

I figured it out, the lighting harness had detacthed itself inside the bootlid, clipped it back together and its all sorted.
