Rear tailights don't work

Hey guys this is weird I just noriced it tonight. Neitehr my parking nor tail lights work in the rear. Front is fine, brake lights are fine. I doubt it's the bulbs since all (4?) are out. Where I can check if the fuse burned? or any ideas solutions or procedures to diagnose?

Fuses first. Then you can try other things. If only brake lights were out, I would say it's the switch. But now prolly just a fuse.

Ok as it turns out the front parking light doesn't work either. Do it must be the parking light fuse. What label is under, is it "Day Light"? Wanna make sure. Thanks guys

It's called the 'small light' fuse in your engine bay. If you installed anything new lately (ie. radio, alarm, indiglo gauges), check the wiring.

Not sure how neon's work, but if you 'tapped' into other wires on your honda wire harness, check if it burnt the wire.
