my tail lights wouldn't work or turn on but my brake and turn signals are fine, i tried changing the bulb to no avail as well as ordering a new set of tail lights but that didn't work either. I checked the fuse and its good and i even replaced it just to be safe. The wiring doesnt seem bad at all. I need these fixed i dont want a ticket for bad tail lights, and I DEFINETELY dont want to pay $150+ to get it looked at by a dealership or shop. if anyone knows a fix please let me know!

Stock? Aftermarket? Any other work done on car recently?

You've blown all that money and time on hopes and dreams but you don't want to pay for a sure thing.

wait, you can buy hopes and dreams?!?

Ironically, the best ones are free. My hopes and dreams are for a world where OP is willing to learn some stuff instead of expect a magic bullet.

Yup. Although the tone of the OP was clear, I still have my popcorn and am ready to help.

In the meantime we can discuss engine vouchers for undue stress caused by dealers

I feel stressed just thinking about dealers. A new engine would help support my emotional recovery.

Are you sure you checked the right fuse? It's the 10 amp fuse, in the #4 position of the fuse block, located inside the cabin.
