I noticed last night that my backup lights are not working.

What are the odds that both bulbs would go @ the same time?

What's the best way to check them out?I checked the fuse box but did not find a Back-up light fuse.Should I check them with a multi-meter? if so what settings would I use?

A couple years ago I would've said next to nil. I have a best friend (not a car guy) who I discovered was driving around with 4 burnt out brake bulbs. Took me an hour to figure out cause I just assumed it couldn't be the bulbs. How long has it been since you knew they were working?

You can check for continuity of the bulbs (lowest ohm setting). Or check the sockets for voltage in reverse gear. Or just hook up the bulbs to a battery (I assume they're 12v bulbs?).
