With the ignition and right turn signal on, giggle each bulb against the bulb socket, if the light flickers on and off, the bulb socket may be bad.  Test the bulbs that had worked for a while and then stopped working with a Volt-Ohm meter for electric conductivity, if the bulbs got burned out after only a few seconds of use, you most likely have a short somewhere near the light sockets.

Life is a one lap race. Make many pitstops.

When you replaced the bulbs, did you check the old bulbs to see if they were bad? Maybe you just moved something when you replaced the bulbs and they made contact again. Now it's lost contact once more. Check for ground connections. It's usually in that area.
