Default Christmas rear lights LOL

Hey peeps...just wondering if you guys know what the common earthing problem is when the rear lights are behaving more like christmas lights...when i put my head lights on the driver side indicator also lights up and when i indicate brake light flashes...have no indicator on the left hand side etc etc....

i know its an earthing problem but where from?

something to do with the connector on the rear lights? the general earth of the car? the block connector on the rear lights? etc etc

if someone can help it would be great as i need to sort this problem today

Generally the connector plug that plugs into the grey buz bar setup on the back of the light unit.

Pins get corrosion and need a clean every now and then. WD40 and a small wire brush sorts it for me
