Did you also check the under hood fusebox?

from the RAVE, a highly suggested free download:

Side and Number Plate Lamps Operation
When the lighting switch is moved to the side lamps position, the feed from fusible link 12 in
the engine compartment fusebox, passes through the switch contacts. The feed is
connected on an R wire to the passenger compartment fusebox, where it passes through
fuses 11 and 33.
When the lighting switch is moved to the headlamp position, the feed from fusible link 12 to
the front and rear side lamps is maintained.
LH side, tail, side marker and number plate lamps
The feed from fuse 11 is connected from the passenger compartment fusebox to header
C0288 LHD/C0286 RHD on an RB wire.
LH front side lamp
From the header C0288 LHD/C0286 RHD, a feed is connected on an RB wire to the LH front
side lamp. The earth path from the LH front side lamp is on a B wire, via splice joint SJ2 to
earth eyelet connector C0564-1.
LH tail and rear side marker lamps
A feed is taken from header C0288 LHD/C0286 RHD on an RB wire to header C0295. The
feed continues from header C0295 on an RB wire to the LH tail lamp and the LH rear side
marker lamp. The earth path from the LH tail lamp and the LH side marker lamp is on a B
wire to earth header C0707.

check out these drawings - if you need more you can download your own copy of the RAVE which will be higher resolution.

There appears to be a relay in the passenger fuse box (side ligts relay) that might be an issue, as well as fuses and the switch on the stalk.

Like a road map. Find bulb that does not work, follow line back to find each fuse along the way. MAin thing is that there are fuses under the hood and under the dash.
