Question No tail lights on 2000 Disco 2

Hello, just asking for a lil' help. I believe that the tail lights are associated w/ a relay in the Engine fuse box. Unfortunately the owner's manual does not address relays. It addresses only the fuses. Help please on this issue???:help:

There is a common problem with early DII's, the drivers side tail light leaks and water gets into the tail light assembly shorting it out.
The passenger side tail light piggy backs off of the drivers side.

Remove the drivers tail light and look for corrosion in the light assembly and wire harness.

If you pay attention to other DII's the drivers tail light will be dimmer than the passenger side, theirs will fail too.
On some of them you can see water sloshing around inside the light.
