Default problem with lights. short?

I have a 1998 A4 1.8t w/ MT. When the headlights are turned off and i press the brake, the yellow portion of the headlight turns on on the left side, and as soon as i release the brake it turns off. Also, if my door is open and I press the brake the open door buzzer turns on as if I had left my lights on. Thoughts?

I've had this problem.. Took a while to figure it out even though it was soo easy! You need to get bulbs with the dual filaments for the front parking lights/blinkers ("yellow portion") and the same for the rear brake light bulbs.
