well first of all the wiring for your tail lights should be in your trunk so start there and check all the cables for a loose wires or something that may be shorting out the lights, also check under your dash on the drivers side and you will see your fuse box check to see if your fuse is blown and then replace it .PMM ME if u have any further questions
