I have seen bulbs that look good visually but are actually no good. Check them with a meter or try another bulb that you no is good. Also check the sockets for the bulbs, I have seen them get loose and not make a good connection.

In both cases if you haven't already, I would inspect the wiring at the drivers side rear corner running up to the back of the tail light...

sounds like something is dead in there. iirc there is a connector there somewhere and you can troubleshoot from there with a test light.
