Tail lights dont work???

What amp of fuse should it have?I did check the bulk connector near the drivers kick panel.It looked ok.
I will trace the brown wire tomarrow.I tested the rear plate wire it also had no power.I will replace the headlight tomarrow and see what happens.
If I were to unlplug the bulk head near the drivers kick panel could I put a hot wire off the battery to one of the wires that go to the tail lights.Just to make sure the problem is not after the bulk connector.
Thanks so far I will keep at it. Jim
