Hi, the light on the wing?
do any of them work? indicators/brakes/rear lights?
do the nearside lights work?

yep must be something simple, connection, broken wire, bulb holder? have you tried the new bulb in the nearside to make sure it works?

I have had a few bulbs stop working on the back of the Scorpio over the years - sometimes turned out to be corrosion on the light assembly where you push in and twist the bulb holder - quick rub with sand paper and all was working again.
