Icon2 Headlights on, taillights not??? Help anyone?

I just noticed from people flashing there hi beams at me that my tail lights weren't coming on. Break lights worked and turn signals worked. Checked the fuse. blown. tried another fuse, blew. Cant find any short. Does anyone have any ideas for me? Does anyone know which wires i would need to tap into to wire up the taillights to a switch to my battery?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Poor advice. Find out where the short is. Don't mask the problem by using bigger fuses.

Most definitely agree, check your fuses first. Does your instrument cluster light up? I recall when I had a 95 coupe my instrument cluster did not light up and got pulled over and found out my taillights were out as well. Ended up being a fuse and some faulty alarm wiring from the previous owner.
