When I drive my tail lights do not come on at night. But my blinkers work. Do you think it is the actual bulb or do I need to replace the whole light?

Check bulb first and check power and earth at the bulb holder as well. Post back your findings for further assistance.

I replaced the tail light bulbs, but it is still does not come on when I drive. Can it be the fuse and where is the fuse exactly?
