I had the same problem with mine. I discovered that the bulbs werent earthing properly. I spent ages cleaning all the contacts, and made sure there good connections onto the earth rail and they were ok after that.

I got so fed uo with my nearside rear indicator,(one minute working then not the next ) that I ran a seperate earth wire to the rearlight fixing bolt , it seems to have solved the problem
