For mine I'm talking about the parking lights on the taillights. Fuses are good drl lights work,licsense plate light works, everything works but the parking lights. I only drive in the day and not night. At night the headlights work but not taillights only lights up when braking. Checked for shorts and replaced brake switch and still nothing. Waiting for the solution..

Oh.. Thought ya'll were talking about the DRL's. My Bad!!
PinaQkoNga, check for faulty wires or loose wires leading up to the wedge bulb itself. Something had to have had a short in the line somewhere for that to happen unless your car hates you for some reason (like not washing it everyday, rub her undercarriage, clean her nose, etc..). =p
RobG, have you tried different/new bulbs? I know sometimes the bulbs are burned out "half way" and it doesn't fully function. Cause as you stated, it only lights up when you break but doesn't light up when you're driving. So try a new bulb and let me know. Doesn't make sense but try it. Happened to my Benz. (I know it's a totally different class of cars but you have no other choice!) If it doesn't, check the wirings if fuses and bulbs are ok. Also, if you think about it, if the bulbs were new and was not wedged tightly into the socket, that can cause a short to the bulb itself.
If all fails, GHETTO RIG!! J/K

I am running LED tails for like 2 years,and then this happened replacing fuses and it at least solves the problems but now idk. Friends n I tried even trying on the OEM and still nothing. I'm gonna take off resistors also and see what happens but I've had no problems with them also. If anything a darn hunt for a short which we searched. Thank you all for the replies

I was having the same issue. All lights work except parking lights. But I figured it out. In the fuses on the driverside inside of the car there are two black rectangles above the first row of fuses, those are the relays for fog lamps and parking lights. I swapped them. Now my fogs don't work but my parking lights do. So off to the auto parts store to go by a new one to get my fogs to work again. But at least I have running lights on my way there... Lol
