Just in case.. wrong bulb, like a 1156 in a 1157 socket, yields similar results.

Makes sense - especially since the bulb was the first thing I checked, and it had come out of the socket and was just laying in the housing. Replaced the bulb a while back (yes 1157) and had a really hard time getting the bulb to seat in the socket. Had to push quite hard to get it in. PO had a clear bulb in there that he had sprayed with yellow paint.... maybe now I know why? Funny but the old bulb fit fine, just the new ones are hard to get in. Both are 1157 but slightly different base length.
Thanks for the help!
