That's a bad ground connection at the left tail-light assembly.

I've "fixed" it by pulling the connector and sanding the contacts-- both plug and socket--with fine sandpaper, spreading some dielectric grease and putting back together. It stays fixed for a year or two.

(Apparently it's always the left side. Proximity to the exhaust, perhaps.)

Others have replaced connectors, which, I imagine, makes it stay fixed longer.
