I had the same, altough the bulb worked it wasn't seated properly, gave it a good wiggle and it solved it! It's just a case of doing each one till it's sorted.

Had the same problem, it was the filament on 1 bulb that was making and breaking. I ended up taking each bulb out in trun, checking with an ohmeter then giving it a shake and checked on the meter again until I found the suspect bulb. Replaced it and never had a problem since, circa 2 years ago.

So did you replaced the offending bulb or after giveing it a shake it somehow worked again after?

Its just all the lights work ok just get a warning up?

No I replaced the offending bulb. It was obviously making and breaking contact as the car was moving and causing the warning message up when it was breaking contact but when I checked the bulbs initially, they were all ok. The warning message did come and go though with the making and breaking of contact during the journey. It was about the 3rd bulb down if I remember correctly on the passenger rear side.
