check all your fuses, i had a fuse go and my dash light dimmer was controlling my rear number plate lights, changed the fuse and it was all good again. failing that it might b an earth/bulb/relay.

take the passenger side boot trim off, you'll see the earthing point for the rear lights.  Clean this up and check all the connections on the rear lights for corrosion :)
