Do they go out completely when you step on the brake with the running lights
on ? That's two bad grounds at the rear. See

for one possible cause and solution.
The new taillight sockets I got from TRF and Rimmers will also cause this
problem ... they differ from the original sockets in that they require a
separate ground wire rather than being grounded through the clip. If you've
changed the sockets recently, check them for a third tab that is not
connected to anything. If it's there, make up a ground wire to connect it
to the body.
