I know that they unplug. They (for some unknown reason) use about 2 feet of wiring to disconnect them. Maybe a wire went bad, hopefully its after the plug. Then you could just replace that whole thing. If it is before, you may just need to rewire that whole side as you were saying. I cant remember where the wires go, I just know that they hook up to the rest of the wiring harness. Who knows after that. I hope this helps, probably not though. if not, free bump lol.

I could look in my manual later for colors and such... But I would expect the problem is near the light itself and should be easy to find... Have you cleaned the socket well?

Are the contacts at the bulb corroded (green)?

That's what happened to both of mine.
