Both have stopped working on my 2000 xantia est.
First I checked the fuses, none blown.
Is there a plug that may have worked loose tat connects both?
Problem, Xantia Reverse and fog lights.

Chances are you have a broken wire (or wires) in the rubber bellows adjacent to one of the tailgate hinges. A common enough problem.
Also, as the tailgate is made of plastic, earths need to be carefully checked.
Are your number plate lights and wiper working or are these dead too?
If you need to remove the tailgate trim to effect repairs, take the opportunity to check the integrity of the tailgate membrane seal to avoid water ingress into the cargo area.

You can check partway along for signal voltage, but it's not desperately easy. There's a main rear loom disconnect (named IC25) adjacent to your driver's seat, tucked against the inside face of the sill.
You will need the wire codes from a manual, to determine which ones you're looking for. Brakes are 212 and 213 but I don't know what reverse is coded.
FWIW you can get pretty good access to most of the tailgate lamp wiring through the velcro'd covers. This of course excludes the tilt switch, locking and wiper setup.
