So I started my car this morning to get it to warm up and when I came outside to get in I noticed the tail lights were not working. The brake lights still work and the fuse isn't blown, I doubt it is common for all 6 bulbs to go in them at the same time so anyone have an idea to put me in the right direction before I start pulling stuff apart?

Did you test the bulbs themselves? I'm not sure what you're saying here. The necessary bulbs light up when you hit the brakes, but they don't turn on when you turn the lights on on the light switch/stalk ?

I just received kouki tail lights and installed them, and the brake lights didn't work for one side. I freaked out that maybe the wiring was messed up. Surely enough, the filament in one bulb was gone for sure, the second bulb looked ok, so I switched bulbs from the working light to the non-working light and they worked fine. Turned out that both of the brake lights on my one side were actually broken. I couldn't switch out bulbs from my old set of tail lights since they use different bulbs, so I had to go down to 1 working bulb in each tail light only instead of having just one side with complete working lights.
