Brake light works - Tail lights don't

Grrrr.....
So after replacing some burnt out bulbs in my tail lights, I went to put the tail light bulb holder back into its spot. Only one problem - I did it with the lights still on so when I touched the metal connectors of the bulb holder to the metal edge of the car, the smallest bulb on the end blew out and now all I have is a brake light on the drivers side and no tail lights. A hard lesson to learn but now what? Replace the bulb holder? I checked the fuses that go to the brake and tail lights and they were all fine. I replaced the burnt out bulb with a new one and that didn't help either. I'm sure I shorted out the system somewhere although I don't know why the brake light would still work.

Any help would be much appreciated!
