Taillight Issue? Fuse # Unknown

I had a failure on a Set of Depot LED taillights. The bulb carrier came loose and melted part of the Depot light housing. Since they Depot lights seemed to constantly having bulb problems I opted to reinstall the factory lights. Especially since I was unable to get the passenger side taillight to function. The drivers side taillight worked fine. This gave me right and left turn signals, left and right brake lights, both flashers worked properly. I just had no running light on the passenger side. I ordered a replacement bulb carrier. This did not solve the problem. After some additional troubleshooting with a voltmeter and some jumper wires I managed to hear a small pop and lost the drivers side taillight. Both bulbs pass the resistance test. So I did not blow the bulbs. I pulled the B7 fuse and it looks great.

Is there another fuse the handles the taillights? My documentation in the Boxster Service Bentley Manual shows brake lights but does not mention taillights.

Any help out there?

Thanks

Page Diagram EWD14, Page 3 of 3 showed me that what I called a Tail Light was documented as a Side Marker Light. Which led me to Fuses A3 and A4 being blown.

Problem solved. The car is reassembled.
