Default Rear lights don't work

I've been playing around with my rear lights today on my wrx bug and now everything works except the rear tail lights , the indicators , fog, reverse light, brake lights are all ok. The fuses seem ok , any advice please, it's doing my head in,

Cheers

Oh and before the first person says change the bulbs I've already done that, and it's both near side and offside

Cheers

Had a issue like that on my wife's classic a few years back.

A bulb went so went and got one from halfords. A week later the lights packed up at the back.

Looking at the replacement bulb the solder was ****e making a poor contact and the blowing the fuse.
