I tried all the usual things but finally sorted them by hard wiring onto the bulb holders and fitting new sealed connectors. Work perfectly now. See my resto thread for details.

Cheers

'Disco lights' are a classic problem, caused by a poor earth, usually rewiring the earth to a GOOD ground point will cure it, if you can find such a place without rust
