HR,
If you say sometimes the port works and starboard doesn't the problem is right at the light. Probably the contact points loose and corroded. Clean and put some anti oxidation goop on the contacts.
There should be only 1 pair of wires going to the running lights up to the bow.

Had the same problem with mine. Then I tore everything out and replaced it all with nice clean connections and new wire. Work great now, took about an hour to do.
