1. Remove each bulb that doesnt work and check for scorch,dirt or rust marks on the bayonet of the bulb and the connectors inside the hole that touch the bayonet. (scratch it off with screwdriver)
2. Check for good earth in the rear lights, remove the screws securing the earth and clean em up.
3. Using a multimeter set to read DC Voltage and test each bayonet hole while the lights are turned on should read 12Volts

That switch makes the lights come on with ignition off, so not sure how it would stop them working all together.
Oh well, at least its sorted.
