Bulb failure warning coming on when brake peddle pushed - Fixed.

[AANDYY]

I got the above failure when applying the brake peddle after 1 or 2 seconds. Anyhoo, after much head scratching and removing the light cluster and multi metering it, I decided to look at the bulb even though it was 'working', the part of the problem that was confusing me was, when the brake light came on the inner side light on the cluster was illuminating as well, anyway as you can see on the pictures the two elements of the bulb had fused together, hence the confusing problem.
1st time I've experienced this fault.

One of a kind I'd imagine.
