Peugeot 207 random faulty bulb message

Recently ive been getting random bulb faulty messages, for instance the other today i came off the bypass slip road, braked and got 'side lights faulty' and ' fog light bulbs faulty' (had no lights on at the time as it was 2pm). The message then disappeared from the warning menu before i could press the button to check - the bulbs all still work. Then today again when i braked i heard the beep and the orange'!' came up on the dash but it just disappeared before i could see what it was.

Then again today i put the indicator on and it said my side light bulbs were faulty (they aren't!)

    Loose bulb or loose connector into the tail lights.

    French electrics and all that....

    yes im thinking that too, it seems to happen when i indicate right :o just now ive had:

    'left hand reversing bulb faulty' and 'fog light bulb(s) faulty'

    funny thing is usually when you press the 'ok button to get the warning log you get the list of any probs but these dissappear straight away - and of course the bulbs still work. im not actually sure if the 'fog light bulb(s) faulty' is referring to the front or the rear!

    do i disconnect them and spray some electrical connector spray ?

    i always seem to be replacing the brake light and tail light bulb in the left tail light every few months
