My next step would be to replace the bulb/s as a similar thing happened on my Landcruiser....when the bulbs didn't fix it I put in another bulb assembly.

I had something similar to yours a while back and it turned out to be the battery. I would also check the alternator as well even if they both turn out fine at least it eliminates them both from adding to the problem.

Great to know its just not me! Got to do the diff pinion seal on the NC so I wanted to browse through the manual for anything that might trip me up.
Just replaced the rear shocks and now the diff seal has gone...cars only done 70k...sure don't build them like they use to! :roll:

Finished the lense [black silicon was a bad idea to glue it on so should have used translucent for a better finished look!] & fitted some side stripes. All I need now is a WOF & rego for my next drive to the track.
