look at the circuit bord of which the bulbs fit into the can rust and connection can fail

Clean the connections to the bulb up?

Can't remember if the rear lights are on a seperate fuse to the brake lights?

If you've had the dash out then check all the relays etc are connnected properly, easy enough to twat one when the dash comes out

Water can escape past the seal in the rear light cluster and cause corrosion on the board.

Ben i think you need to focus you attention on the dash. everything was fine before you removed it so get the dash off again and check everything.
