Check the relays?

Like shimric the first thing to check is the relays.

If the relays check out then the next thing is to get your hands on a multi-meter and check the wiring harness. That's what is wrong with mine.

If you're not able to easily check the wiring harness then you can actually take out both lights and plug the bad one in on the opposite side. If it works fine there but not in it's proper location then you do indeed have a wiring fault somewhere.
