Taillights and dash lights stopped working at the same time, why?

I was driving down the road and my dash lights went off, so I pulled over and started checking fuses. When I was finished with the interior box, I went to check the box in the engine compartment and noticed that I had no parking lights or taillights. My turn signals, brake lights, hazards, and dome lights all work as expected.

Hi,

I need you to locate fuse 6 in the central junction box under the left side of the dash. In addition to checking the fuse, I need you to confirm there is power to it. This fuse is my first suspect.

Here is a link to help with checking for power:

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe

See pics below. Note: The pic of the fuse was really hard to read. Please confirm the fuse I highlighted aligns with fuse 6 in the fuse box.
