Replaced taillight bulb still not working. All other lights work. Is there an easy way to replace dash bulb?

Hi,

If you lost power to both and the taillights are still not working, I suspect the switch itself has failed or it could be a fuse.

Take a look at pic 1. Check the two fuses I circled and let me know what you find. Here are a few links you may find helpful:
