Hey all,

i haven't taken apart my lights back there yet because just from looking at 
my lights i do not believe any of them are out. however, i will be sure to 
take everything apart tomorrow (i am doing lots of work on the car tomorrow). 
i'll let you guys know if i find anything that might be causing the problem. 
however!!! is it safe to rule out that there is no problem in my fuse/relay 
compartment? is there anything in there that could be causing the problem?

thanks!
Andy
