These are the light in the rear bumper. I disconnected the trailer plug socket andno difference. Any ideas where to start ????

You might need to check your blinker fluid as well, seems that a lot people don't check theirs and they've all run out of it because the blinkers dont work anymore.

As stated, definitely a bad earth.

I would be looking at the plug that goes from the loom into the back of the globe holder. They have little connector pins in them and they are susceptible to rusting if water can get to them. They will dim and also illuminate intermittently before failing.
