How to get rid of Warning Light on Dash ??
Today I had a " check left brake light bulb" come up on the dash which changes to a red exclamation mark with stalk movement.
Sure enough, the bulb was blown and I replaced it & brake light is now working but, I can't get rid of the warning on the dash ... anyone know how to cancel ?
Appreciate your help.

You may have something ... the old bulb was a 4 watt & the bulb they sold me at the auto parts place is 6watts .. even looks brighter ... I'll try another auto parts place ... Thanks for the advice

Sounds like you guys already figured it out - the bulb at the dealer was 20 dollars for a single one (at least the local dealer around here).
One thing to possible do, which i did, was to order it online - making sure it's the same wattage/etc.
It's a 21/4 or 7225 bulb.
I think this is the exact one I ordered (even though it lists VW) - works fine obviously since same bulb/spec/etc.

The light came off right away for me.
Shipping was 7 bucks though - so good to bundle w/ other stuff if anything is needed. Though it was still half of what Porsche wanted for it after shipping/etc...
Thanks,
Ben

Yeah, I was shocked when I got to the parts department and was quoted for the bulb.
I went to go get some coolant, and was going to pick up the bulb since was searching long and hard for them at the auto-part stores - and it was over 20 dollars for the single one.
Needless to say, I walked out w/ only the coolant and ordered the bulb online...
Have a great night,
Ben
