Dashboard lights and tail lights are out

Hi, I have a 2001 Acura el 1.7,
Both the tail lights and the dashboard lights are out all other lights are working I've checked the fuses and they're all good, resoldered the drl control module did not fix problem. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Fuse called "small lights"

Do you hear a single click from under drivers side dash when switching to parking lights ??

Fuse #2 (15A) in the engine compartment
Headlight switch
Taillight relay in the dash fusebox

A good wiring diagram and some test equipment (probably just a simple test light) would be in my next plan.
