First, check the fuse box under the hood, you may get lucky and only have to replace a fuse. Fuse locations are labeled.

Second, If there is condensation or water inside the tail light, you could have dirty or bad wiring harness. Disconnect the battery before proceeding to troubleshoot.

Buy a cheap conductor cleaner from a local auto store. Open the trunk and unscrew the tail light from the car. This is very easy. Disconnect the wiring harness from the hosing which holds the bulbs. Try cleaning both ends of the housing and harness. Reconnect the battery and try the lights again.

If it still doesn't work, you may need to replace the wiring harness or the housing that holds the bulbs. About $40 to replace at the dealer, if the auto parts store does not carry them.

Keep your receipt for a refund if that doesn't work. I had water in mine, and overtime the conductors rusted so I had to replaced the harness. Simple to do. GOOD LUCK!
