I had the same problem a few months ago so maybe this will help you. In my case there was a short in the wire that connects the 2 bulbs. To get at it you have to remove the unit that contains the trunk latch and bulbs, above the licience plate. And good luck removing the mounting screws; on my 10 year old 9.3 they were badly corroded. Once you remove the unit you will see a thin wire connected the two bulbs. Corrosion caused the insulation on the wire to fail and it shorted out against the metal of the latch assembly. To fix, I just wrapped some electrical tape around the wire and reassembled.
