How to fix a 95-00 Toyota Tacoma broken tail light

The taillight on my 2000 (1st Gen) Toyota Tacoma daily driver recently went out. Since I don't want me or my wife to get a ticket, I decided to see what the problem was and fix it.
Most taillight repair videos deal with the easy fixes, but on the rare occasion when a bulb replacement doesn't fix your issue, I'll share what I did to locate the real problem.
Here's a quick guide that is fairly universal:
Step 1: Remove taillight
Step 2: Identify if the bulb is bad
*If the bulb isn't the issue, continue on
Step 3: Identify if the light housing is the issue
- I was lucky the housing on the other side of the truck worked and has the same connector, if that's not the case for your issue you may have to buy a new housing to test this or find one at a junk yard
* If the housing isn't the issue, continue on
Step 4: Learn how to use a multimeter and start tracing wires
* Tracing wires can be intimidating at first, but be patient and search some wiring diagrams for your specific issue. I searched for 2000 Tacoma taillight wiring diagram to see what each wire color meant.
I'm working on a future video that goes into detail on how to do a high-quality amateur or DIY fix to faulty wiring on a car. I'm no expert, but I have picked up a few things from my dad and other videos on RUclips.

Great Vid Yeah looks like the harness breaks right by the split on the frame it packed really tight all the wires just snap off at once
