Try swopping the bulbs over to be sure you have a working bulb sometimes even a new bulb can be faulty.
Then at least you will know the problem isnt a bulb.

Clearly an engineers's mind at work here.

If you've got a multimeter, you could check the wiring for resistance/voltage

I'm sure it won't be the case, but just to make sure...
Although your Zed is a 2006 car, I presume it is a pre-facelift model? If it's post-facelift, the tail light is LED and you're swapping out the wrong bulb. New unit required if it is.
Sorry if I'm stating the bleedin obvious
