Default Rear light out not bulb

this would be the rear parking light of the brake / parking light combo bulb.
Replaced bulb still not working when parking lites turned on -Side marker bulb is out as well but think that may be just the bulb burn out.
Brake and reverse light are fine.
Anyone come across same problem ?

Have you tried switching with the bulb on the other side, to rule out you getting two defective bulbs?

1) Test by Substitution (remove and install a "known good" bulb. I tend to have tested good spares for just this sort of thing, in a box in my garage. Bulbs and relays.)

2) Check for contamination in the socket - the OEM anti-corrosive they add craps things up mightily after a while. Clean with electrical contact cleaner and an old toothbrush. Inspect for corrosion afterwards (I've seen it happen...)

3) Check for voltage at the terminals. If not present, start tracking down a wiring fault. The main front-to-back harness usually runs down the left side of any LHD vehicle, and there will be connectors behind the front kick panel and the rear trim liner.
