    Ok, so i got pulled over tonight because my tail lights went out i guess... cop was really cool about it, but i know they were working sunday atleast. they work when i apply the breaks and when the hazards are on, my thought was a simple fuse. any other ideas or ideas as to which one exactly? normally you wouldnt find me making a post like this but i am always swamped and i have near no time to deal with it really.

    I had this happen to me too, on the left rear. Blinkers/hazards/brakes work, but when you turn on headlights, it doesn't.

    I pulled the bulb - turns out the bulb has 2 seperate filaments in it, 1 that lights up when you turn on your headlights, and 1 for the other stuff. One of the filaments in the bulb had burnt out, but the other one was still connected and worked fine.

    Went to autozone, picked up bulbs as stated in manual for 5 bucks, problem solved.
