Hi, MARK gave great answers.If you have tried that and did not work,then most likely the bulb socket is bad.You can check that socket with a multimeter,,,you can buy one at HARBER FREIGHT cheap,,,,, learn how too use it,,then check your socket,If it is bad you can pick one up at your local auto parts store..GOOD LUCK!!!!!

It has nothing to do w/ having the wrong bulb in.....first it won't light up in the first place being the wrong bulb or it just might not even lock in to the socket
