I've seen defective bulbs cause these symptoms. I assumed that because they
were brand new bulbs that I took out of the package that it was the
socket...
Replaced the socket with a brand-y new one ($$), same symptoms. Aurrhhg!
Found a used bulb in my stash and that fixed it.
Good luck.

Checked the wiring and connectors. All look good.
Thanks

Pull the rubber boot back and look at the wire connections. Very common for
them to be ugly as heck. This is a chronic problem due to a design weakness
in the front marker light assembly. Water gets in and the boot keeps it in
rather than keeping it out. This corrodes the wires and spade connections.
