Have you replaced a bulb recently?

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!

It's a grounding problem, check for oxidated connections in the lampunit-connectors or at the groundingpoint. Did you have a waterleak in the lights, trunk or tailgate?

Unscrew the rear tail-lights take out the plugs....Clean all the metal pins (to which the plugs connect too) on both the lenses.....and clean the plugs themselves with electical cleaner and a small thin nail....Scrape the connections to remove contaminates and bobs your uncle....fixed!

Common on many cars, just damp weather and corrosion
