Take the plug off each rear light and look for corrosion on the pins/plug terminal. Get some wd40 or proper electrical cleaned on the job and give them a dose of that.
Other than that it could be the earth points that are near the rear light unit. May need to remove them and clean them up.

move the carpet and you'll see one earth for each light unit.
