Default Rear tail light

Hi,

Can any one help? One of my rear tail lights is not working, changed the bulb, brake light comes on fine, just the rear light that doesn't want to come on. Have read others suggesting that it might be an earth wire, if it is how do I do something about it?!

Thanks :-)
