defective/incorrect bulb, or a bad ground. Not much else it can be. Try taking the bulb from the other side, and putting it in. Does the problem repeat itself? If no, then it's a bulb problem. If the yes, then it's most likely a bad ground in your light circuit.

Sounds kinda dumb, but is the bulb in the correct location?
