Funny you should mention this! The very first repair I did to my 2005 STR was the front blinker.

Turns out the socket itself had burns across the metal clips that hold the bulb and provide electrical connections. So pull the bulb and carefully inspect the socket. I ended up folding a piece of foil to bridge across the burned spot in the socket. Not real proud of the repair but at that time I found the Jaguar socket to be over $50 and would need to be ordered. 6 years and almost 90K miles the repair is still fine.

Just something easy to check.

I am not clear? Did you swap the socket from side to side? or just the bulb.

The socket takes more work to change.
