Already ran a search... no luck: rear hatch lights are sluggish...
On cooler days the lights take a good minute or so to come on after opening the hatch. If I tap my fist next to the latch, the lights will come on, but not on the first try. Any suggestions?
Thanks alot!
Thanks alot!

If not bulb, then micro switch on trunk lock is bad...
Lights in rear hatch are controlled by a micro-switch on the trunk lock solenoid. Sounds like the trunk latch mirco-switch is/has gone bad. They'll have to replace the trunk lock part number 8N0-827-505-C. It should be covered under warrantee.

Thanks guys. I think that's the problem, Gotto <more>
See, both bulbs in the hatch enclosure come on at the same time, eventually. Should have said that in the first post.
