never saw it before - but it's the same with all electrical connectons. start at the bulb if it's good break out a voltmeter to see if there is power getting to it.. and just slowly work your way back along the wire.

damn that's a lot of lights .....agree completely though, check grounds....and any in-line fuses (which wouldn't count in this case cuz if there were any, both lights of each type would be out

You must be scared of the dark to have that many lights.

Got out the good ol VOM and check for power at
the bulb connectors. Then check continuity of the
ground on the connector. Then check the bulbs for
continuity. Swap bulbs and if the problem follows,
its a burnt out bulb. If the problem stays, its the
wiring.
