    Just went and got a new 7.5 amp fuse and my tail lights worked. Got home and started my truck again and blew the fuse. I was just on an elk hunt on some nasty roads and got into some mud. I installed the OEM Pro tail lights over a couple years ago along with Meso’s Stage 2 kit at the same time of installation and haven’t had any problems until now. I have a feeling if I take it to the dealer, they will give me a hard time about the Stage 2 kit. Any recommendations would be helpful.

    Take the stage 2 kit off and put the stock bulbs back in, see if that solves the issue. If not at least you are back to stock and no worries about going to the dealer.

    Looks like the taillight fuse also powers marker lights in the headlights and the license plate lights. So it's possible those other items could be in the mix. Since the license plate lights are down low and you got in mud, maybe look at the wiring underneath the bumper and taillights to see if anything looks damaged or connectors dunked in gunk. Maybe also pull the taillights to see if that area got soaked.
