Still think its one of the bulbs matey? if it was me i'd go through all the rear bulbs 1 by 1 and just do a check as i'm not sure what else it could be apart from the switch under the handbrake itself?

You'll have to get some pic's up of your car matey so i can have a look :D The wheels on mine are 17" Allesio sports, brought them brand new with tyres for £599 2 years ago which i thought was a good buy at the time but wish i'd gone for the 18" now :)

Beat me to it!

I've found if the warning light goes on the first time you brake and then stays on, it'll always be a bulb fault of some kind - blown bulb, incorrect bulb, incorrectly fitting bulb etc.

Glad you got it sorted out matey and look forward to seeing your lex as you start to mod it :D
