You might want to try pulling the socket out and cleaning it good. It's possible you got some moisture in there causing some corrosion.

did you test the bulb and socket with a multimeter. Could be a bad connection in the socket or a bad bulb, even if new. Check the lens housing and socket for cracks that could let in water. Use bulb grease to help keep water out of the socket.

I have replaced both len housings and bulbs many times. Recently have had to mess with the sockets and scrap them out to get them working. The heat will eventualy start to crack the plastic stuff.

The less bright stage of the bulb is where you are having a problem. This stage is not used for DRLs, turn signals and hazards, only for front markers when headlights are on.
