Default HELP !!! 95 GS-R...tailights dont work !

Last night I parked my car, left the lights on, and to my surprise, the 2 red tailights on the right side of the car did not work ! The weird thing is that the left side tailights work fine, and the hazard/back up lights work fine on both sides...its just the 2 red lights on the right side that don't light...I bought new bulbs, but that didn't help. And it can't be the fuse, because there is only 1 fuse for both left and right side tailights, and since the left side works, it can't be that ......Do you guys have any idea what else it could be ?

did you get the right bulbs? Make sure none of the wires got fried or came loose from the bulbs?

ok problem fixed......you guys might want to pay atention, you never know when it could pop up.........I took out my rear headlight, and the compartment for the wires was filled to the brink with water. The water rusted the wires on the light side of the rear electrical harness, and they broke in two. So a little cleaning, electrical tape, and lights were back to new
