The first thing to do is check the earth pins in the tail light clusters they are prone to corrosion ,you can run an extra earth between the body and the earth strip within the cluster.
If you have a bad earth the rear lamps can be like a disco , the tail lamps can flash in time with the indicators etc

As said above. Take plugs off the light cluster and wire brush the metal plate. If you really feel adventurous the plugs come apart to clean or repair the terminals.

They either work or they don't. Glad you are sorted.
