I'm having this problem right now and can't seem to figure it out. EVERYTHING works except for my tail lamps. The brake lights, turn signals, and hazards all work fine its just that when i turn my lights on at night everything comes on but the normal tail lamps. Anyone have an idea???? I checked all the fuses too.

Grab a couple new bulbs and replace one, if it works when your done replace the other.

There is either seperate lights for the running and the flasher or there is one buld with two filaments in it.

Have you pulled the ground wire and replaced it or have any other fuses fail. I'm thinking if you have rehooked your battery or maybe jumped someone a surge of power went through the bulb and burnt a filament.

But you have check most everything else. Bulbs are cheep.

Make sure you checked the fuses in all THREE fuse boxes.

Well, I do have the double filament bulbs. But is it possible that all four filament burnt out at the same time??? I installed my new euro tails and checked them right after and they were working great. then i went out to the beach and on the way home they quit working. I'll try them out but i just change two of the bulbs when i put the tails in. What ground should i check??? I also have a somewhat weak battery, would this do that???
Also, I did try all three panels and pulled all the fuses too. Still nothing though.

THank you, Thank you, thank you!! It was the bulbs. I bought a pack the other day and the company accidently put a 3156 instead of the 3157 and it blew all the other bulbs. So thanx for all your help guys.

Cool, glad it's fixed. But more, thanks for posting the fix. So much more could be learned here if more people would post what the fix was.
