I have a similar issue with my rears too, but I know it's the LCM at fault... Yours will not be the LCM or you would have a melee of lighting faults on your dash !!
Best idea is to check that the common earths are tight (small black connection boxes terminated to the body)... Maybe the bulb wattages, and the condition of the bulb-holders.
Just an idea
