Please don't take this wrong......and its not intended to be hateful or anything...
when dealing with your electrical system you need to be fairly knowledgable of what you are doing....its about the easiest way to burn your car do the ground....by getting something wired incorrectly.
I am making the assumption that you are not very familuar with automobile wiring/electrical systems seeing as how you can't pull the fuses....
PLEASE be careful with your car in this respect....I would really hate for your next post to be titled "burnt my Pro to the ground"
To help....TOMORROW, after its light out....first check to see that your brake lights still work...if so...drive to a parts house and purchase an assortment of fuses...and more than one of each...and a fuse puller if you so need one.....after you are home...start the search.
IF you find a fuse blown, and you replace it....only to have it blow again....there is SOMETHING wrong.....figure it out before you do any REAL damage to your ride.

Don't you have a pair of needle nose pliers? You can use that to pull the fuses. BTW, there's a fuse puller on the fusebox itself. Not to sound mean, but if you don't know how to check for a blown fuse, you shouldn't be messing around with your car.

the best way to check for blown fuses is with a test light without removing them. notice that you fuses have two small slots in the plastic end, those are for testing the fuse.
connect the clip on the test light to a good ground (something metal)
then turn you key on and your lights.
now stick the end of the test light into each one of those slots. if the curcuit is on then the light shoudl turn on when you test both slots. if the test light only come on with one of them then you have a blown fuse. if the test light doesn't some on at all then that curcuit is not on or your test light has a bad ground. sometimes you can't tell a fuse is blown visually, so you have to test it with a test light or multimeter.
