You have answered your own question nearly - the earths for the indicators most probably need cleaning up. Use the multimeter on the bulb contact and get the other end onto the battery negative itself and it should show 12v if that is the case.

are you using a digital multimeter?
its common for the cheaper ones to not read fast enough and only show 5-7v on indicators
a old anologue meter is better at some things still!!!!

still earth prob though i think...

I haven't got the old AVO out for over a year now! Too damn heavy.

ive clean up both earths front and rear the rears become brighter and the fronts stayed about the same but while i was cleaning the fronts "christmas trees" i found the fault. the flasher unit kept ticking at me every so often so ive bought a new one and just about to go fit it.
its a new meter but with a max peak hold so it tells me what the max was through out the time of testing good bit of kit
thanks for your help i will report back and tell you how it goes
