Had this problem recently & wasn't the bulb at all.
After pulling out the whole loom to check for a cracked/broken wire & having no luck, I checked the fusebox. A corroded fuse was the problem. A little sandpaper to take off the green copper oxide & bingo. Make sure the fusebox contacts are clean also.
Can't think which fuse off the top of my head, but traced it easily enough from the wiring diagram in the haynes manual.
