have you installed anything new recently?
How did you check the fuses?
Do you have a wiring diagram for the car?
I'd recommend doing a Google search or hitting up one of the 180 related forums and searching for a wiring diagram. That will then be able to tell you exactly what fuses are relevant.
If that's all too hard, next bet is to simply use a spare use (if you've got one - if not, buy a couple, should always have some spare fuses in your fusebox) and swap out a fuse at a time to determine whether one is blown. Just make sure you use the correctly rated fuse for each one

I had the same prob with my Rolla not all that long ago...
Whe I had installed a oil pressure and then a boost gauge, a + and - wired were touching and kept blowing the fuses!!!
Have you installed anythign electrical lately?

same thing just happened to me when i put a sub/amp in my car? Anyone know what the problem could be all fuses are fine!
some one treid to put a radio in I believe. look at the fuse panel at your feet, you have a blown fuse. pull and inspect every one of them!
no but all of them are fine :S

Have you just come to this conclusion via a visual inspection?
yeah... i pulled them all out and looked to see if they are broken.?
A visual inspection is never accurate. It's best to grab yourself a multimeter and test it for sure. See the following thread for what you need to do to test one

Multimeter or even just a test light.
yeah never visually inspect test lights nice and easy to test continuity between the terminals off fuse if thers power there . 9 times out of 10 the problem you described is just a blown fuse . but if the fuse is not blown find the parker/tail light relay , with your lights on you should have 12v at three off the terminals 85or 86, 30 with power coming out at 87 being a factory relay they probably wont be marked so just check for power
