check the bulb holders in the rear lights they might be corroded
BETTER TO HAVE A CALIBRA AND NOT NEED ONE, THAN NEED A CALIBRA AND NOT HAVE ONE!!!

yep sounds like corrosion in multi plug to rear lights or bulb holders more common on old fords you know when you brake and they all light up like a christmas tree lol

What Baz said, irratic behaviour in a bulb cluster is nearly always a bad earth somewhere. To prove it, have the bulbs flashing and temp' hold a wire onto the earth side of the bulb connection and earth the other end to the body, this should prove if it is indeed an earth problem.
