I'd check the fuses again or for a broken connector on the fuse box. Swap the fuse for a known working one as it could be blown but not visible.

Check your bullet connectors on the right side by the bonnet hinge, this is where the loom for the rear connects.

 

You have not had any welding done at all around the roof, roof channels, rear valence at all?

 

If all your front lights are working, and your backs are not, then start at the bullet connectors at the front by the right hand side bonnet hinge. Ideally a wiring diagram will help you, but if you keep a constant earth to the equipment / Lights etc to be checked, then apply a 12v power to each wire on the reverse lamps, brake lights and indicators and see if they light up, but do take each bullet connector apart, and supply the rear lead with power only.

 

If these work, then check the bullets for connectivity and then work forwards through the loom. Fuse block connectors do also gunge up as do the blades on the connectors and fuse blades and fuses, use a bit of emery cloth and a very small fine screw driver and file.

 

Lots of patience also helps. Time too,work through it all methodically, and you will find the gremlin.
