Did you check for a fuse that says TAIL LIGHTS? The bulbs have 2 different filaments in them, one for just lighting the tail lights and the other filament is only used when braking, turn signal and flasher. There are 2 separate circuits. Look in your fuse box and see if you have a fuse for tail lights and see if it is blown. Although it looks like the same light, andin fact is the same bulb but with two different fillaments, the brake lights, signals and hazzards are on a different circuit than the tail lights, clearance lights and dash lights.
