Re: left rear running light
OK, I'm not going to tell you to check the bulb! 
There could be some corrosion in the socket that is causing poor contact with the bulb. There is probably a spring that pushes a contact against the bottom of the bulb. That could be stuck and not making contact.
If you have a multitester or a 12 volt test light, you can turn on your park/tail lights and check for voltage at the marker light. There should be a plug-in connector near the marker light. I would do this first before taking the marker light apart.
