Every light works but the tail lights!

Hey guys, glad to be a part of the forums! I decided to join on a whim, I wonder if anybody can help me with this weird lighting problem It's a 2002 Honda Civic and every light works except the tail lights! Soon as I switch on the headlights, nothing! Any ideas? Tell me it's an easy one!

Thanks in advance, I posted this in the General Chassis, Lighting, Autobody, Structure Glass Tech as well.

Edit: All fuses have been checked and are good.

Give us some history on the vehicle.
When did this start happening?
Did both of them just DIE outta nowhere?

Check contacts/bulb holder. Use a DVM and check to see if you're getting voltage coming from the contacts.

If there is, something is funky with the contacts. If there isn't, check the wires.

Take a voltmeter and just check for faulty connections. The heat last week might have done something to the wiring.
