I don't know about the tail lights, but the interior lights are controlled by the Body Processor Module. The Body Processor Module gets power from several sources, but two that affect interior lights have fuses which are in the driver's side heelboard fuse box, fuses # 5 and 7, 15A. There is an upholstery panel under that side of the seat which, when pulled forward, reveals that fuse box. Note that there are FIVE fuse boxes in this car, two under the hood/bonnet, one each under the right and left rear seats, and one in the trunk/boot.
There are other more complicated possibilities, but a first step is to check these fuses.

Guess I wasn't clear enough. It's on the driver's side, under the front edge of the rear seat. There is a vertical rug-covered piece that is actually not part of the carpet, under the front of the rear seat. It's called a "heelboard" for obvious reasons I guess. Should be a plastic button in the middle towards the top. That button needs to be pried or twisted loose, and then the whole panel pried off. You need to get under its edges at the sides and bottom and pull forward.
There is a similar panel on the passenger side, with a different fuse box underneath.
