    i would check fuses, go though measure voltage, check ground, connections. Do any of your parking lights work?

    Power for the rear parking lights comes from a 20A fuse under the hood, goes through the headlight switch, then through the DRL module, then out to the tail lights. Like jteske said...check power and ground at the lights. The ground for the tail light circuit is in the right front door sill area just in front of the passenger seat...IDK why.
