bulbs are good, been out there checking again, and I have fire leaving from the box into the harness that goes back there, but no fire at the plug at the back trunk divider. so im going to slice the loom open and check for broke wire.

I would lean towards a short in the harness as well 73ssbb.
You didn't mention if you have brake and turn signals though.
