right so I've got a bit of an issue thats proving hard to diagnose.

two of the leds on the inner right hand side tail light cluster are intermittent. I've noticed it yesterday first time myself but I was told about it by a colleague first 2 months ago.
Two leds not on in the middle of the strip. Last night turned engine on, off, drove for a bit, opened/closed boot lid - still not on. Fast forward to this morning - turn the motor on and all the leds are working okay.
Reason why I haven't noticed it before after it was mentioned to me is probably because its so intermittent and I'm yet to figure out what's the conditions when that happens.

Have anyone had problem like this before and tracked down what's causing it?

I did get a message last night "battery weak" when I was playing around with lights in the car and message came up after couple of minutes - as far as I know car still has an original battery - could it be related?

are the light units dismantable so I could check for the corrosion?
