I suspect the Euro Taillights is the culprit. Same thing happen to me, except without the alaram going off.

Like some on this forum the harness that you have on your EuroTaillights could be a loose wire. Check your harness, unplug it, look at the wires and see if you see any loose. Most of the case like myself its not visible to the eye. I always unplug my harness give it a nice wiggle and zipped tied it in place. If your harness can move around secure it down.

You should see your taillights working again.

I just jacked my rear up and disconnected the harness and plug it back in and zipped tied it in place and its been good ever since. :cheers:

Before you do anything pop out the fuse and make sure it is not blown. I blew a fuse once on the track when the ABS kicked in....my tail lights and brake lights quit working....and it was the fuses.

Check for a bad conection in the "euro" harness in the right rear wheel well. turn lights on and wiggle the harness. Good chance you'll find a bad connection from a stretched or pulled wire.
