scan for code and then trouble shoot accordingly

Try swapping the nearside bulb with the offside bulb. If the fault moves with the bulb, then the bulb itself is at fault. Occasionally, halogen bulbs give a distorted beam pattern, and no amount of adjustment will fix it. Also, make 100% certain the bulb hasn't been inserted upside down. There is a locating tab on the bulb, so make sure it is sitting in the cut out in the bulb holder correctly.

Probably the lamp plug is corroded. Pull the bulb and look for white to greenish color. If it is black where the bulb makes contact, it is arcing. Try and bend the tabs closer together.

When you changed out the bulbs do the lights work? Or is the indicator light on and the lights don't work. If the latter then you likely have a bad connection to the switch or a bad relay.

check your fuse box .

Simple open the trunk look at where the back end of the light assembly will be there should be a twist handle on the plastic twist it and there you go switch out your bulbs... Same goes for the bulbs in order to replace them twist the plastic and you should be able to pull it out.. Nothin to it ...

Assuming you tried a new bulb(bulbs can look ok even though they are broken) i would suggest you locate the fuse for that light and check/renew

I HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY JAG ITS A FUSE OR A RELAY PHONE CHRIS AND ASK HIM HE WILL PUT YOU RIGHT 07718759675 / 01914874717

are the rear lights combined? ie sidelamp and brake lamp in one bulb .if so, there is a possibility that the bulb is not sitting correctly in the holder , causing both the side & brake lamp fuses to blow . if they are seperate bulbs you probably have ashort in the sidelamp system somewhere but the brakes could be a switch problem [easy check, find switch ,disconnect wires short across using wire or paperclip switch on ignition and check lights ] if they work the switch is the problem , [check fuse first] if they don't
