tailight electrical problem, please help

Hi guys, I know this is the wrong forum, but the other forum doesnt get read very often and I need to solve this problem asap! When I turn the ignition to the On position the tailights come on..Good... but as soon as I turn the car on the tailights go out...Bad. My wife noticed when she drove behind me, I had NO tailights, but my brake lights work. I'll have to just ride the brakes from now on!. Please help.

did you manually turn them on? sounds like the DRL relay maybe messed.

are you the one who posted before on installing the HID kit and dissabeling your DRL's?

No, I just bought the car, it was just luck. got it solved though, it was the DRL relay, thanks for the help. If anyone has this problem, You can pull the DRL relay behind the kick panel on the passenger side, pull the thing apart, and reflow the solder joints. Most of you probably know this, but it saved me some bucks. I had to do it on the Vigors main relay once too. cheap fix for a 200$ part! Thanks for the replies
