Try replacing bulbs. If it's not in the bulbs, you probably have a short in the bulb fixture. I've had this in the tail light fixture of other VAG products.

5 amp fuse
Remove the two lamps from the place and see if there is still blowing the 5 amp fuse

It appears the short is in the rear tail light. I determiined this from the advise above. I've looked at the wires That I can see and everything looks fine. Has anyone had this experience and found a fix. I wonder if I replace the whole bulb holder. looks like it just unplugs unless there's some other trick to this
