James, This sounds very much like a poor earth problem. This is common around the rear light clusters (and not just on Spitfires - ever followed a car whose brake lights dim rhythmically instead of the indicator working?) Take the covers off the rear light clusters and check all the routes to ground are sound and secure. I have a feeling the route to ground is just through the screws holding things in place - this is a pretty poor route. Some people have improved the original design by adding a wire between some point on the cluster that should be earthed, and fixing the other end to the tub; you need to scrape away the paint so that the other end of the wire grounds out decently.
