Tail lights not working

Rear night time running lights are only working 10% of the time. all other light work like signal lights, brake lights, headlights, but when the lights arnt working the head light dinger goes off even when they are not on and the dash lights go out when the head lamp switch is on. we have taken it to a mechanic and they couldnt find the problem . checked fuses, cruise control doesnt work, changed tail lamps, checked wiring. but nothing seems to be wrong.

Check the light sockets to make sure they are not damaged. Check to make sure the ground to them is good.
