Need help troubleshooting angel bulbs

Simply put, driver side is working, passenger side - not working! :-(

I thought it was the bulb and purchased stock bulbs, I tested both new bulbs on the working driverside and they both work but when plugged into the passenger side, it doesn't light up?

Any advice? Is there a fuse or relay that affects only one side? Wiring damage I should look for? I have the car on stands now 9:48 central...Thanks in advance....

The wires are probably loose. Try playing around with the wires until it lights up. I had the same problem but on my driver's side. Some wire was loose so I used electrical tape to fix it.
