Thanks. That's an easy one to check, and I've even got the bulbs on hand.

I had that exact problem on our 1978 MGB. I checked grounds, connections, 
etc, etc. Finally, I replaced the bulbs (even though they weren't 'burned 
out') and everything has been working fine ever since! I cannot explain it -

I guess bulbs just get old & tired...
