This is what I did. I traced the two connectors from the circuit to the brake/tail light but it's not working for me.
If I have no side lights on and I press the brake pedal I get a bulb out warning until I release the pedal. If I have the side lights on and press the brake pedal the "additional" side lights go out but I do not get any warning on the dash board.

I didn't have this problem. Can you check with a tester that you get +12v on the spare connector when you press brake? Do you use genuine Audi bulbs? I used simple incandescent bulbs. No leds.

That was going to be my question; what bulbs are you using. I will try regular bulbs and see if that fixes the issue I'm getting with LEDs.
Thanks for your time on this mate

Just a little update to say I swapped out the LED's for regular Bosch bulbs and this has cured the dash warning errors.
Whilst experimenting with external LED's on the car I've found them very hit & miss. More expensive hasn't always resulted in premium products, and error free bulbs were not always error free. Unless someone decides to tailor a set for this car I'm not investing any further time trialing different bulbs now. I've tried about 3 different indicators and 4 brake/tail lights without luck. LED Bulbs that have worked; front side lights, front main beam, side indicators (in the wings), reverse lights, rear side lights and rear fog lights. LED Bulbs that haven't worked; front indicators, rear indicators, brake/tail lights.

Also fitted a second fog light so I have one each side. (Plus , for a while, the numberplate bulbs, though I've now reverted these - what's the point when the plate is yellow!  Quote:

Whilst with MJ the other weekend, we tried some replacement bulbs that she had ordered for the very job but the pins weren't correct. The pins on the replacements were directly opposite each other on the bulb, whereas the stock holder appear to be built for bulbs that have the pins not-quite opposite each other (if that makes sense). And the amount of space you have to play with regards to the dimensions of the bulb is minimal. So I would love to know the exact bulbs that you guys used to give a white glow (assuming you got a white glow). TIA
