Is there any chance your rear window washer maybe leaking messing up the number plate bulbs? And that possibly being the cause of the other bulbs playing up. Might be worth a check as when I had problems with my number plate bulbs it messed my rear lights up.
 
They're all controlled via the CE module, maybe some shorting is being causing by water, but it needs checking to be sure.
 
Hi Nigel,

Can you tell me were to find this CE module

Thanks
 
This morning all was fine but when I stopped the car and started again the same issues
 
I just realised who you were bud sorry been a while lol, its above drivers footwell, maybe a grounding issue if it works when driving & stopped again.
 
Update,

Today I had a look as my light were still intermittent failing, first I went to the Audi dealer to have it fixed but they would charge €260 to have it checked!
Then I discovered one fuse was faulty not clear visible from above (30 amp) replaced and and all is working again.

Should I be worried about this?
