Brake Light Odd Behavior 130i

Have a 08 130i and noticing an odd issue with the rear brake lights. When pressing the brakes the bottom left (left side) and top right (right side) light up when i thought only the tops should light up. I checked the bulbs thinking one was burnt but when moving bulbs around it doesn't seem to be burnt. No matter on bulb orientation always same result.

I have re-seated the plugs however haven't checked fuses as imo if fuse blown nothing would work.

Anyone come across this before? Possibly faulty footwell module?

What happens when you put the rear fog lights on?

I would need to check again but I "think" the rear left lit up.

it appears when there is a faulty brake bulb it will light the fog light up instead when braking hence why i had bottom left and top right coming on. When i moved the bulbs around i think the filament must of touched and that is why the bulb appeared not to be burnt. Swap them out for new ones and issue resolved.

Anyway. Updating in case any one has same issue.

E46 used to do this. I think they changed it in the later 130i with the black top motor
