Back up lights not working

70 CS - neither back up light works. Could it be one bad bulb, both, or a fuse? And where are the fuses for these? I couldn't find them. Thank you!

Yes, there is a 20A fuse marked Dir Signal/Back up. Did you check the voltage at the light sockets?

Does your neutral safety/backup light switch work? Have you tried unplugging the two wire connector with the green wires from the backup light switch and jumpering across the terminals in the connector to see if the lights come on? Has this car been converted to floor shift from an original column shift car?
