? earth supply to that side - if no earth then the bulbs won't work
probably a loose/split rubber boot on the plug and water ingress from the vent above, corrosion,bad contact

Of course, crown of earths time maybe. The back of light cluster looks good.

earths for lights are part of the cluster bolted to chassis in the engine bay I think, just check for continuity at the plug to chassis, if it's not that possibly the earth contact in the lamp cluster has broken
