1 taillight, 2 rear corner lights don't work

The passenger-side red taillight and the 2 rear orange corner lights don't work on my car. Are these 3 connected somehow? I checked the bulbs and they seem OK. It seems weird if 3 bulbs went out at once anyway. I also checked the fuses, none of them have broken connections or burns.

Should I just replace the 3 bulbs and the right fuse, or is there some faulty wire somewhere that these 3 are connected to?

Fuses should probably be replaced if they are original, can't always tell if they are bad by looking.
Replace the fuse and bulbs and see what happens.

Ok, I was driving today and realized that most cars only have 2 red lights on in the back at night, even though the cop that had pulled me over told me one red light and two corner lights weren't working. I replaced the bulbs for the taillights and all's good now.

You should have three red lights... one on either side of the vehicle and one in the middle in the back dash. I disconnected my third one because I personally don't like it.
