Default Need park light help!

My car has been parked for a couple monthes and every so often I'll go out and start it up. Well yesterday when I went out I noticed my park/running lights weren't burning. I turned on my turn signals, headlights, park lights and they still wouldn't turn on. Everything else works fine. When giving a turn signal the *** lights work perfect and everything is normal on the cluster the front lights just won't turn on. What are the odds both bulbs are blown? but if they are I thought the back ones wouldn't function right ? what could this be.

I had my front right parking/running light out. My back turn sig worked fine. Then my front right turn sig bulb was bad and I would get the solid/no blinking on the left side. I would pull the front bulbs and clean the sockets and replace bulbs. My sockets were in bad shape causing all kinds of weird stuff.

First check the bulbs. Then check the sockets to see if power is getting there. Odd that both sides are out...

I messed with the drivers side yesterday. I sprayed the sockets out and replaced the bulb and it works perfect. The little prongs on the bulb had rusted off so I'm hoping its the same for the other side. Thanks
