My driver side brake light and passenger side inner light randomly stopped working. I have no clue why anyone have any ideas of what happened or how to fix it?

Thank you
 
Check the ground wire on the light socket. The wire is black and contacts the outside of the bulb socket. I have had two mess up because the ground wasn't making good contact and bulb would either blink fast or not work at all. What I did to fix was solder the wire to the bulb socket so there was no chance of it coming loss. It worked perfect and has permanently fixed the problem. If you look at how the wire is connected it's just wrapped over the plastic and laying next to the metal on the socket. To me that doesn't seem like the greatest idea from Mitsubishi. Anyway not sure if this is your problem but worth checking out along with fuses and bulbs.
 
Probably not the fuse if your Driver interior light works, because theyre connected(well at least on my 2G)
