Small Problem: Rear License Plate Lights

on my '99, one of the two license plate lights in the back is out...see pic below. strange thing is, the light that's ON in the photo is now the one that's out, and vice versa:



fuse problem? relay problem? if so, where is the fuse located so i can change it? btw, no other taillights are out, just the one lil' one.

thanks.

Check the wiring to it. Sounds like something is shorting out. If it was a tail light fuse, they wouldn't work. Try shaking (and banging) them around a bit, and see if they flicker. If it does, most likely wiring.
