It's either the lamp or the ground for the lamp. I'd bet on the lamo,
but check the ground by bypassing it with a separate wire to the same
point as the ground of the correctly working lamp first.
Also try swapping left for right lamps and see if the problem stays
withe the lamp or with the car.
This way you won't spend anything until you know what it is.
