Tail Lights out
My tail lights went out... brake lights work, hazards, blinkers. Just no tail lights when I turn on the headlights. Front lights work but they seem to be shorting a little too because they flicker occasionally. However, this could be because my alternator isn't strong enough since I'm running two amps and an MSD off the battery. Sometimes flicking the bright light switch helps with the fronts. My dash lights went out completely about 6 months ago but I've just been living with it, but this is getting out of hand. Also, I recently installed speakers in the kickpanels and mounted some amps in the back against the wall. I'm thinking I should start here?
Is there a connection somewhere that would cause all my tail lights to go out but not the other lights? All bulbs are good.

Check the rear wiring harness ground. Make sure the connection is clean.
For your headlight flicker, check the ground on the radiator support.
For your interior lights, check the harness ground on the driver's door post.
