Do the parking lights work? When you switch on the right turn signals 
what do the parking lights do?

The first thing I check when lights don't work correctly is that the 
bulbs are getting a good ground path. Usually the bulb is grounded 
through the lamp base's connection to the body. That leaves a few places 
for corrosion or looseness to interfere with a good ground. If there is 
a dedicated ground wire (usually black insulation) follow it to where it 
connects to the body. Secure that connection - remove, clean the wire 
terminal and the area where is attaches then snug it down.
