Don't know if this is the problem in your case but I would suggest
carefully checking out the fixings around your rear lights - this is
often a sign that the earth connection has gone faulty or Hi-Res!

Years ago I recall a common problem - exclusively with Falcons as I
recall - whenever they changed gears the backing light lit momentarily.
Pathetic.

 

I have had this problem twice on different cars over the years. On each
occasion it was caused by a faulty stop/tail double filament bulb. One
filament had broken and attached itself to the other, thus feeding power to
the side lights when the brake lights were operated.

 

Sometimes this happens after clutch changes (clutch replacement) - when the
mechanic has forgotten to refit the earth on the gearbox side

Yes, I'll give you £300 for it! (Providing it has less than 70,000 miles on
it)

You probably have a faulty earth. Try applying a separate earth wire to each
of the rear light clusters and then try again.
