Not just the bulbs blown is it? I had that happen a couple of times on my last car, they all died at the same time

with the tail light fuse, if that was blown wouldnt the tail lights not work cause mine do?
the bulbs all look sweet, if one was blown the filament(think thats how to spell it) would be gone yeah?

Test the bulbs with a multimeter to make sure there is continuity :)

I found in my car if I whacked the dash they worked again for a while (Random I know) so replaced them all and they worked, also check the connector to make sure that is plugged in all the way
