DS running lights quit!

The title says it all. All the lights on the DS went out, except for the headlight, brake lights and turn signals.

Ive checked the fuse panel, looked at all the bulbs, and did a cursory look at the wiring, finding nothing obviously wrong. I'm going to go swap all the bulbs from the PS to try and isolate the problem, but I think I may be chasing my tail.

If a bulb goes out on one side, does that entire side shut down?

Where might I find the common ground for that particular circuit?

TIA.

The bulbs aren't in series so that wouldn't be it. Funny thing is, I had that EXACT problem a week ago. Turned out to be a short in the white cylindrical connector rear taillight area. Didn't make much sense to me till I tore through the wiring diagrams. Check for grounds at the rear, they're closer to the drivers side, then I'd yank the housing to the taillights and check the grounds on there, see if theres anything causing a short, and then check completely the cylinder connectors, 5 pin and barrel connector. That was my issue, short causing voltage to ground before it got to the lights. Affected the fronts too.
