This is not my area of expertise, so normally I wouldn't post, (well not 
really) but since you are pulling your hair out, I will say that on some 
cars, other bulbs share the same circuit, e.g. if the license plate light is 
out it could cause others to not work as well, much like the cheap Christmas 
light stings with the small bulbs we buy every holiday season.
