Well, yea, you're right about it looking like the brakes are on. I had a rewired '03 A6 that had the rear fogs mounted away from the cluster and quite honestly, I thought it looked awesome. When the brakes were activated, all five were blinding and while on the highway at night, it kept people from tailgating.

The S4 on the otherhand, has them mounted inside the cluster and the very first day I had it (with rear fogs on through force of habit) I had two people warn me that my brake lights were out. I'll fiddle with the wiring when I get home this week.
