youve got a bad earth on the car,prob back lights.
switch on side lights and hazards,go to back of car,if the side lights are dimming in time with indicators then have the earth for them repaired.any auto electrical or most garages can do this.

Could be a high resistance in the supply from the battery somewhere. Try connecting a voltmeter to various fuses while the problem is occuring and see if the voltage is varying, an anologue meter is better for this.
