Not normal, try cleaning your grounds for each light.

If there is a ground issue on the rear tail lights, Go to the hardware store and buy 8 stainless external tooth washers. 4 for your fender bolts and 4 for the tail light assy to fender (5/16 and 3/16 I think.) Put 2 between the washer and fender on 2 bolts on each fender and take the nuts off the tail light assys that are on the underside of the fender and put the washers there. Should cure it.

Fixed!

it was in fact the gronds behind the engine bay insulation, one of the connectors came of the wire.

Thanx guys!

also what is the black wire by my generator it hangs loose between the red B+ and the brown (ground) and the green with the rubber thing on it.
