i had the same problem. i think its your housing for the bulb(the housing that the bulb sits in). after i replace mine everything worked fine. or you can just get new taillights.

Check the ground wires on the light assembly itself, sometimes the white plastic melts and covers it which causes a short in your wiring. Scrape the plastic off and put the ground wire back for a good connection. This was my problem when the brake lights would work but the parking lights would not.
