Wagon Lover did you try cleaning the contact area with a blast of air or maybe some contact cleaner?Parking lights on the opposite side working OK?

Did you put the bulb in the correct way...it has 2 pins, and one is higher on the base than the other.

Flasheroo The other side is workin peachy.. i have the gooie stuff in the sockets

Fred.. Yes i have the bulbs in right.. i had the mistake way to many times.. i triplked checked if that was the prblem..

I know this is from a while ago, but did you ever solve the problem?

I had a similar problem on my driver's side. The socket wasn't making good contact with the bulb, so I replaced the light socket, and now everything works great. With the parking lights on, try moving the bulb around in the socket to see if you can get it to light up at all. Mine would only turn on if I pressed it firmly into the socket.

I just went through this on my Bonneville.
When I installed a new bulb, it worked for a day or two then I was back to the same old problem.
I tested the bulb in another socket and it worked perfectly.

Turned out it was a broken ground contact in the base of the socket. Sometimes the light would work, sometimes not. Finally figured it out when I saw the light flicker when I moved the wire harness.
Replaced the socket assembly and all is good again.
