Is there any signs of water ingress which could be causing a short - a fairly common problem on rear light clusters and not just Renaults. Check the cluster unit for signs of corrosion, etc. It may also help if you removed all the bulbs from the offending unit and then introduce one bulb at a time and see what happens - that may help you narrow down the problem.:)

Had a very similar problem you describe on my Laguna II, loss of dash lights and N/S lights. In the end I had to call in an auto electrician to find the problem.
Turned out a bunch of wires had 'fused' together near the fuse board and were shorting out. I would check there first.
