I've just done this on my van (courtesy lights). Take the light fittings out, check the wiring with a meter, lives and earths. In my case it was a combination of a poor earth behind the fusebox and oxidisation on the light fittings themselves.

Clean the contacts on the door switches with some scotchbrite.
