Sounds like the 1157 dual circuit bulb. In which case the black is ground, the blue/red is standard power, and green/white is secondary power. You can splice the wires until a match appears. What are the colors off the one you got and does not match? I think maybe the contacts on the one from the junkyard are messed up, or possibly that the ground wire is shorted in your wiring harness, if it is only one bulb.

Absolutley, there is some metal around there, just strip the end wire and touch it body to the light's ground while the lights are one and see what happens.

Try black to black, blue/red to black/red, green/white to green/blue.
usually reds are going to be power, and white a secondary and black in every case I have seen is ground

Darn, I know this sounds stupid, but are the filements in the bulb burned out? the only other thing I can think of is that the base's contacts have fallen off, this happend to me once, had to re-solder the leads back on.
