Default Need help with my tail light / brake light

Guys, I am no wrench. I noticed this moring by pure accidnet that my tail light was out. rode to work and back, tricky down here in Mexico with no break light, got home to remove the light cover off and the bulb looks fine, it looks like there might be a fuse missing, there was gew in that section of where I think the fuse might have gone. I cleaned it and there are thee metal prongs there, but no fuse, is there another place I should be looking for a fuse? has any one else just all of a sudden had there tail light crap out. all other lights work fine, not sure what the problem is any advice would be greatful,

Totally burned out? Or just when you hit either front brake or rear brake? Also sometimes bulbs can look alright and still be bad try simply replacing the bulb yet?

Just got back from AUTOZONE, it was the stupid bulb, although it looked alright it was burnt out on the bottom I could not see it clearly. What a dope I am, oh well time to drink mass quantities of beer, thanks punisher.

With the price of beer it might be expensive to fix his "pride"
