Tail Light issue

Hi everyone. I am brand new to the site, i must say there is a ton of good info here. Anyway, I recently bought an 2008 F250 and last night i noticed both my tail lights were out. The wierd part is that when i hit my brakes they light up just fine, they also work as they should when i use my turn signals and while the truck is in reverse. I have been through the owners manual and it has been no help. According to the manual there is no fuse for the tail lamps. Any ideas??

replace the bulbs, the marker filement is probably broke whereas the one for the brake/turn is still good.

Go to this link and open the manual for your truck. I imagine it is the same as yours but from time to time, Ford prints updated versions.

https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenan...ls/results.asp

on page 301 under fuse numbers 21 and 22 it shows cornering lamps and park lamp relay feed. I would check these two first and make sure they are good. Other than that, I would check the bulbs. Beyond that, if it's still under warranty, I'd take it in and let the dealership fix it.
