More electrical gremlins

Ive spent 2 days on Percy's rear lights and im getting very annoyed.

The front headlights and sidelights are fine-the issue is the rear lights all have gone dim including the numberplate light.

Help!

I assume because all the rear lights (not flashers though) have gone dim I suppose it must be supply wire from where it bracnches off from front sidelights til it gets to the rear lamps?????[?][?][?][?]

you could have a bad connection in the feed wire, if you have a voltmeter test to see if there is 12v getting to the lights.
check and clean up all connections and earths.
try running a live wire straight from the battery to each light to see if things improve

I replaced the feed wire from the front end to the rear and replaced the rear numberplate bulb holder with a new one and brighter bulb and all seems well again
