Default Taillights

Anyone have a picture of their taillights illuminated at night with brakes on. Basically I'm looking to find out which bulbs light up with the breaks. On my car only the outside lights illuminated when hitting the brakes and the insides are just for regular taillight illumination. Is this correct? It's on an 04 A4 B6.

Thanks again

All right cool, I just wanted to make sure because the other day a bulb died and I threw in an LED replacement I had sitting around here from my motorcycle and now once and a while its gets crazy and tells me the bulbs dead when its not. Stupid LED load, so all is well.

As you know leds draw less power therefore making the an error message. If you want to avoid this throw in a resistor.
