There's the lens covers in the boot lid carpet, carefully ease it out by the sides with a plastic card and the bulbs are bayonet type easy auto bulb to buy

Or you will have a slightly bigger problem, caused by either one of the wires broken (most likely where they are along the hinge), or your micro switch gave the ghost (fitted in the lock assembly.

Worth knowing, just in case.
