Just switched rear fog lights on and only the drivers side illuminated. Are there two rear fog lights or one fitted?

While we are on the subject can anyone confirm if the rear number plate lights have the horrible yellow bulbs or leds as I have just chased an ink blue qashqai to look but had to slow down as Plod grew larger in my rear view mirror!

Yes an offence in UK but the light is falling on the plate so should not be a problem as the beam of light wont be facing anyone behind
