Under counter lighting

Our rental property has under counter lighting in the kitchen Despite new bulbs, 2 of the 5 lights don't work. Any suggestions for likely cause of fault? Landlord unlikely to fix (he's a tight-fisted whatsit!). I've added pic to show the type.

1 - not working
2 - working
3 - working
4 - working
5 - not working

I haven't yet looked at the way they're daisy chained, but 1 & 2 are linked, and 4&5 are linked.

You have posted only 1 picture, of 1 light fitting.

But its probably a bad connection.

Care to guess what the lamp is? I am 90% sure what it is.

Well i worked out that the lamp holder involves a square plastic cap placed over each end of the bulb. These then spring and clip into the main holder. If the lamp doesn't light, often it's just a case of rotating them until the connection is made. Very weird!
