That was mine, twas the white wire from the left hand switch gear, metal connector were burnt and rusted, cut them and bypassed the connector, has been fine since. Mine is also a 1999 Curvy.

Exact same issue with mine, clean and lubricate the pins and see if that solves the issues

3) Fuse board and fuse holder
4) White wire from fuse board back to the bulb connector
5) Bulb connector
6) Any other connectors along that route that I can't think of right now

If you have the same problem as Davyrach did, in that the lights would flick on and off when the steering is moved, then the fault most likely lies in/around the area of the loom and connectors at the steering head and forward.
