Where is the fuse panel on the A3 (98 model)?

I would appreciate it if anyone can tell me where the fuse panel is located on the A3 (1998 model)?

My break lights are not working (the bulbs are fine) - the main lights work but when I press the break nothing happens. So I`m guessing the break light fuse needs replacing.

I don`t know where the fuse panel is to confirm it (I don`t really know if there is a separate fuse for the break lights).

Can anyone help?

Thanks

typically the fuse panel is located on the side of the dash. If you open the drivers door you can see a panel that pops off. In the US it would be located on the drivers side, but i'm not sure in Europe.
