Default Tail light trouble on 06 SS

I have an 06 Monte SS, and my rear passenger tail light has been giving me some issues.

My break light and turn signal will work when used, however when I have my lights on, I only have my drivers side tail light working, both (top and bottom) lights on the passenger side are out.

I've changed out all 3 bulbs (top, bottom, and side), but I still have the same problem. None appeared to be burnt out anyway.

I also found out that my parking light on the front passenger light is out too. However it will work when I hit the lock button on my key less remote.

Everything is plugged in and all drivers side lights work fine.

Has anyone had this problem before or know what the problem might be?
Thanks.

I'm guessing it's electrical, but I don't know what. I talked to a guy who works at a chevy dealer, he said it could be corrosion on the connections, but I don't really have any corrosion at all.

Whats your location? Maybe someone local to you can come help you troubleshoot the problem. 2 brains are better than 1.

I found out what it was. I have the aftermarket Halo headlights, and my halo has shorted out. This made it blow a fuse in the fusebox in the engine bay.
I had swapped out the headlight for the factory one, and had the same problem, but that's because I didn't know to check the fuse at the time.

So now the problem is fixed, but I'm back to my stock headlights.

After messing with the bad halo light for a while, I found the short to be somewhere in the box wired to the Halo. Does anyone know if I can get a replacement box instead of a whole new halo headlight system. I have found they only sell them in sets and I cannot buy one individually.

Or...
Would anyone be looking to buy a fully functional drivers side halo headlight.
I only had them 10 1/2 months.
Thanks

That's really weird, I'm glad you got it fixed.

I have 2 brand new halo inverters. I can sell them to you. PM me if you're interested.
