you can confirm the light bulb itself is getting power? if inside the socket there is power either the bulb isnt in right, bulbs are bad, or there isnt enough power. if you arent getting power to the socket check your wires for good connection and or shorts...

^^^ i agree take the bulb out flip the switch and see if the socket is getting power if it is then bingo dead bulb.

alright guy's i just checked the bulb's both are getting power and they light up. so where should i check mostly for the wiring short i checked the power point to the fuse box , checked the ground , checked the way it's actually hooked to the battery . any other suggestions?

you will have to trace the wires.. they work some of the time?
