    Hello, all.

    I am new to this forum and also to Tacoma's. I had a first gen tundra a while back and wanted to get back into the truck game and found this truck which I just recently purchased.

    I cannot for the life of me think of what to call these lights but all I know is that while driving at night, in the rear there are no lights on other than my tag lights (my headlights do work), so basically I look like a ghost driving down the road at night.

    My brake lights work at least on one tail light. One of my tail lights are out completely, which I will look into. My blinker works on the working tail light but it flickers very fast as if its going out.

    I wanted to know if this could be a fuse problem or if this could be something else. I can answer any other questions. I want to make sure I have lights on while I'm driving down the road.

    I unfortunately don't have the stock tails as I bought this with the previous owner buying some Amazon tail lights for the truck.

    Since your licence plate lights work I'd suspect shitty bulbs or a wiring issue as the licence plate lights and tail lights are fed off the same wire.
