Check the way you have installed the bulb.if it is a combination stop/tail light.It really only goes in one way as the pins are offset, however it can be forced.also check the wiring plug as it may have a dry joint in the wiring

Have a 2008 Honda Ridgeline, all lights work except tail lights. How do I correct this?

Bad ground. On the drivers side at the rear. Doesn't matter if it is the tail lights, brake lights, or reverse lights. If the front lights work, Bad ground.

Where is the fuse for the right side tail light?

hi if it is only the one bulb not working/tail light and the front light on same side is working along with number plate and other tail lights may i suggest you replace/check the bulb on defective light as if fuse had blown ? the front light on same side would not be working if you put ignition on and press brake your brake light shoul work ? if so change the bulb as the bulb has two elements inside tail light and a higher wattage element for brake light

No tail lights working on honda 2008 CR-V

try http://www.etrailer.com/faq-wiring.aspx. They have very good concise information that might help.
Take it back and have them check the wiring. It sounds like the converter is wired wrong or faulty.

No tail lights working on honda 2008 CR-V

Did you install the converter, which allows you to use the separate turn signal bulbs? If not, then you did pop the fuse.
