Right fog light not working after changed bulb, 997TT

Just bought my first Porsche a 2007 997TT. Noticed right fog light was out, no biggy change bulb. Old bulb looked fine, not a good sign, yup new bulb didn't make a difference. Any ideas what I can look for?

Thanks

There is no right rear fog light. Only the driver's side just like other Euro cars -
BMW, Merc, etc. you are asking about rear correct?

Front fog right light, takes a H3 bulb. I'm a newbie, hopefully I'm asking the right thing.

That lower round light

I thought of that, in the driver's side fuse box, I can't find any light related fuses, is there another fuse panel? Seemed odd that 1 one side worked. I googled everything and I must be searching for the wrong thing.

Check the connector contacts?? Maybe use some dielectric grease and try again. If one side works it's probably not a fuse issue.

I used a volt meter and I'm not getting power to the connector. So I guess I need to find the terminal end of that wiring harness and back track all the way to the battery. Where should I start unscrewing first?
