Check the pins in the connector on the back of the bulb holder, one of mine had corroded away, also have to fitted correct bulbs silly question i know but you'd be suprised how common.

A voltmeter on the electrical connections would be a good check too. Then depeding on what the reading is, tracing the fault in the lamp unit itself/bulb holder etc or tracing the wiring upwards. If the body mounted lights work, then there isn't that much length of cable to check.
