I believe you may have the bulb in wrong, pull the problem bulb out and make sure you didn't get it in there wrong? look at the tabs on the bulb to make sure you are getting it in there correctly.

Bulb is probably bad. Tail lights function on one fillament and the brake/turnsignal on the other. Try it on the side that works. That should confirm it!
