As above, today I noticed that when I press the brake light, not only the do all three brake lights come on but so does my off side, side light. when the lights are on and I press the brake the side lights is fine. My side lights are l.e.d but it's the first time ive noticed this odd side light trick.

poor earth to the off side cluster brake light is using the side light for a earth. clean up connections and double check the fitment of bulbs.

I had a similar problem with my CC when it had Lexus Lights. The problem with mine was a loose wire on the where the lights plugged into the car. Problem solved by connecting the wire properly.

Also happened to me when I replaced the brake light bulb with the wrong type of bulb.
