As I posted yesterday, always mistrust the part you installed last.  Check
the bulb.

|Pull the rubber boot back and look at the wire connections. Very common for
|them to be ugly as heck. This is a chronic problem due to a design weakness
|in the front marker light assembly. Water gets in and the boot keeps it in
|rather than keeping it out. This corrodes the wires and spade connections.
