Unhappy Problem with passenger rear brake/turn signal..

Alright, so i installed my 06+ tails early today, no problem there. I turned on my parking lights to check if they still came on, which they did, but stupid me forgot to try out the turn signals too! So, i get off work tonight, turn everything on and signal out of the driveway. And it appears that i have a hyper-flash now on my passenger side. Front bulb is fine and is on. Rear bulb is on with headlights, but does not flash for turn, nor does it get brighter when i brake. Also, with everything off, it doesn't light up to brake or flash for turn either. Any ideas??? I popped the bulb out when i got home and plugged it back in, but it didn't do anything. I'd really like to get this done tomorrow morning before i leave for school, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Try a different bulb. The most likely case is the stop/turn filament is bad.

Yup, that's all it was. Got a new one and it's just fine!

Isn't it great when the solution is so simple?

Pretty much. It was just a stupid one. Too much of a coincidence that i changed my tail housing and then it just decides to stop working. -_-
