Long story short, my lights aren't working. I guarantee it's a fuse or something cause my headlights work fine. Where can I start troubleshooting, I am searching as we speak so none of those posts please. Hopefully some one can help me.

Okay sorry. I got nothing man! No running light no nothing. I dunno.
What I'm thinking is that these euros I have are really bright. When I say that I mean light up street signs 2 blocks away when I brake. Could I have overloaded a fuse?

check your fuses first, but if you dont have brake or running lights its obviously not a burnt out bulb or faulty brake light switch...
i'd have to see a wiring diagram to troubleshoot any further.. maybe they have one on autzone.com
webtech has the schematics.. the only thing both tailights and both the brake lights and running lights have in common is a single ground.. maybe it came loose? they dont even share the same fuses

I'm pretty sure it's a fuse, I'll check right now. I checked out webtech and it looks like there might not be much in the way of electronic problems.

Thanks Dweet I was hoping you were here.

So you think it's faulty tails?? Ima gonna go swap out to my old ones and see what's going on. Might not be until the A.M. though.
did this occur after you swappedthem out? What I would do is just replace the bulbs... they are cheap anyways, if that doesnt work follow the ground wire. If that doesnt work probe the grounds on the lamps to see if it has continuity with chasis ground

Yeah after I swapped them is when I've had the problem. I've had them for at least a couple of months, maybe more. I going now to check the actual bulbs, I'll just reconnect them and see otherwise I'll check that out. Thanks again Dweet, much appreciated. L8R
if you have nothing at all.. I would check the connections.. both the ground and the plugs that go from the main harness into the light assemblies.. seems odd that everything went out on both sides at the same time.. I think you got a bad connection somewhere...
what about turnsignals and reversing lights?
