Alright, i dont know if this has been posted before but i didnt know what to search under, i bought this project car for around $750, anyway none of my rear lights work,none of the bulbs look blown, but when i turn the lights on nothing happens, headlights and everything else works fine, curious to know if this is a problem for others or what i should do to solve this.

dude sorry to say you will, i fried a few headlight switches and even more wire harnesses in my 86, they just put out so much heat, but check fuse first, and then pull, gauge bezel and look at headligth switch, if it looks or smells burnt, then you will need to replace it, i think its mazda mark that sells replacement electric parts if you need to repair or replace

If you burnt that many wires you might have a short, or using the wrong size wire.
And yes, it is www.mazdamark.com that sells electronic parts.
