Hi, I have a 2005 Mini BASE and both of my rear lights aren't working but the brake lights work and all of the other lights are working fine. Would both bulbs go out at the same time? I'm wondering if it's the bulbs or a fuse and is there just one fuse that controls all the lights?

I have seen two bulbs fail at once. I would start with one bulb, see if it has power and ground.

Once one bulb goes it's not unlikely for the partner bulb to fail. That is why it's recommended to replace bulbs in pairs. A good place to start would be what Nick said above.
