Default Tail light problem

So all my tail lights aren't working, but when i use my brakes they shine.
im thinking its the fuse but my fuse box dont have a cover so i dont know which fuse to pull out. or it may just be all the bulbs.


anyone can chime in and help?

im not too sure how to explain. but the fuse was just burnt out i guess. for some reason when my friend installed my sounds he wrapped a wire around the fuse and plugged it in. so when i turn my lights on my amp turns on. kinda weird? haha.

yes i would take it off asap, doesn't make sense to have amps run by the nites..no need sounds during the day?if your car catch on fire is your friend going to be responsible for it?

Was it you I was following home from lastweeks SB meet then? There was you me Sean, and Judd all going home at the same time. I noticed that but at first I thought you didn't have your lights on and were just running your fogs. But then when you got in back of me getting on the freeway I noticed your lights were on but yeah you had no taillights on. Glad you fixed it lucky you didn't get pulled over in Waiks last weekend going to pick up your dad.

like Samson said, that sound like a car fire waiting to happen.
hope you got that wire disconnected, and tapped into a good power source.
If not, I would go and visit Samson.

well it was 'professionally' done at Nu Image Car Audio. cause my friend is the installer and he's been doing car audio for 9 years? so he gave me a good deal. but shoot, it does sound sketchy. ill bring my car down so you can check it out.

Wow...that's a ghetto install.

You need to hire a professional like Samson...he does it right!!
