Hi Steve
Tried those settings but to no joy.

Actually tried several times but I am still getting bulb out warning light on dash, check rear fog light message in MFD and also when you start up the fog light rapidly flickers on several times for a few seconds. The VCDS autoscan shows - 09-Cent. Elect. -- Status: Malfunction 0010, but doesn’t report any fault codes....

No fault code found.
My outer lights appear slightly brighter than the ones on the tail-lift, though only the outer brakes lights are coming on now. Front side lights are now much brighter.
Back to the drawing board?
