If you search the forum for "tail light fuse" there are several threads regarding the location of the (single) fuse, which is also annotated on the picture linked above.
There are also some unusual faults that seem to affect the tail lights, such as the interior light shorting out. There are a few listed and well worth a read if you're having problems.

There isn’t one.
Hi all.
So I have an annoying fault. I have had no issues with Transporter HQ front rear and sides LED units.
Until yesterday finding rear near side tail light not working. Indicators and reverse and fog all fine. And offside all fine.
Removed the unit into find complete oxidation to the connection. Cleaned it using white vinegar which completely cleaned it. Then rinsing it and drying connection.
Reconnected and same issue.
Swapped out aftermarket for VW OEM units on both sides. And exactly the same issues. No other issues anywhere else.
Now thinking that as the oxidation was so severe due to ooor design connections of aftermarket tail lights. That maybe the connector plug from the vehicle harness is defective. And now need to acquire a new one. Or bypass the vehicle connector until i can get one from a scrap vehicle.
Any thoughts of anything else I could have missed.
Offside connector was also mildly oxidated. So I have cleaned that one too.
