Has any recent work been done on the car or has it been in an accident?

All lights that are out share a common power source. It starts with fuse #4 15A in the engine bay fuse box. Use a volt meter or test light to see if the fuse has power on both sides with the fuse plugged in. Look on youtube for videos on how to quickly check car fuses.

If that fuse is blown, replace it. I suspect that the fuse will quickly blow if you have some kind of short in your wiring system.

You can also try unplugging a non-working bulb and check for power and ground on the two wires to see what you are missing to be 100% sure if you have a power side or ground side problem.

If the fuse isn't blown and has power, then a relay that part of the relay control module is the next step for testing. Unfortunately, I believe that relay is integrated into the fuse fuse box and might be a pain to test.
