X2^ I thought I'd have to clean mine.... turned out the PO just took it out. Cleaning is much easier and cheaper than buying new. Search Cleaning your NSS. There is a whole thread. That is probably your issue, since its the only lights out. Also, if thats not it, change the bulbs, but it's probably the NSS.

Might be a lose connection or the NSS might be getting dirty. Check the light sockets to see if they're broken in any way. My brake lights were like that and ended up being a small little plastic piece inside the socket that had snapped.
