   The filament for the tail light has blown maybe?
   The brake light would still work if only the side light filament had blown

   Try cleaning out the bulb holder with emery cloth.

   Tried both of these. .... The filament isnt blown as it does it with another bulb i have
   Could it be a blown fuse or is it one for all of the bulbs

   Itll be corrosion on the board itself. Cheap enough
