Hi,
A lot of tail-end wiring issues often relate to a bad ground connections.
Have a look to see if there's corrosion or broken wires relating to the grounding of the problem bulbs.?
Best of luck.

Hello Juani Ornelas,

just a Scientific Wild Guess...

Most likely you are NOT looking at a FUSE FAILURE.

There is NOT a separate fuse for your license.

You are looking for a bad sockette either electrically joined together ... it is a bulb or socket issue...!!
