My guess would be a bad ground wire somewhere, likely the trunk.

Those cars have a paper/plastic thing that the wire in the light assembly runs through. You could put something in the car to make the brake peddel depress like a cinder block or broom stick, then go in the trunk and play with the bulb sockets.
