I recently noticed that when the rear lights were on, they pulsed very slightly in time with the flashes. I've had a look at the wiring diagram that suggests that there is a single earth from the rear light cluster. Before I go and have a play tomorrow, I thought that I'd best check if that's the case, or if I will have lots of cleaning up of individual connections to do.
I speak the truth. Do both sides. From memory, there’s an earthing tab welded to the bodywork on both sides.
