Driving home from work tonight my check panel showed two warning lights. My Right Tail light, License Plate Light and Gauge Cluster light went out at the same time. Shortly after, the gauge cluster light came back on. Not sure about the other lights. Then they went out again. Sounds like a bad ground somewhere?

That's what I thought. Checked all fuses and the all are good. When it happened the other night after a bit they all came back on. When I was driving today only the Right Rear Tail Light and License plate light went out cluster lights stayed on this time.sigpic

Maybe your first thought was correct - ground.
Find the rear ground point for these lights, remove the bolt, clean it up, tighten it, and hope it solves the problem. My car ( E28 ) and several others have this ground point under the back seat bottom cushion.Andy says "Be Seen, and Not Hurt!"
