I have a brake lamp light on too and I know which bulb that I need to replace. I am just too lazy because it is too cold now, but I hope I don't encounter this when I replace my bulb.

just replaced one of my brake lamps too
my light indicator in the dash sometimes would come on and then turn off
i changed one of the bulbs, now it works fine
must have been a faulty bulb that only worked sometimes

does the indicator go off only if both filiments of a dual filiment bulb go out? so far ive had 2 bulbs 'half die' and gotten no indicator, i just happen to notice when i unlock the car and the lights kick on while im still walking behind it. its annoying to not be notified.

I had a bulb that was a little deformed, but still lit up do the same thing to me. It went out at the same time another bulb completely blew, and it drove me nuts until I figured it out. Id check all the other bulbs, even if they light up, and examine their filaments closely. If any look out of wack, change em.
