    I recently bought a Tacoma trd pro, I changed the headlights and they work fine, but I didn’t realize my tail night light doesn’t work, I tried to check my fuses but they seemed fine, I bought LED light to replace the halogens bulbs on my tail lights, but it doesn’t work either. (Reverse and turn light works fine)

    I don’t know what it’s really going on here and how to find the problem. Can anyone lead me on the right direction please?

    Put stock lights back in. Then start to troubleshoot.

    they didn’t work before I changed to LED, that’s why I bought the LED, they were burnt

    By adding LED you doubled the variable. If they didn't work, replace with OEM. Once you figure that out, then replace with LED. Can't add too many variables before you get lost in the process

    none yet
    The brake switch would be the next check but yes LEDs can compound the trouble(s)

    No, change your headlights back to stock, taillight bulbs back to stock and then start troubleshooting. Likely something with your headlight install caused the problem since it didn’t exist prior to that.
