Default How to clear tail light error?

It seems like Audi does this on purpose. Everytime it's time for service (45K and now 55k) I get some BS errors. This time is tells me my reverse light, and 2 tail lights are out and they are. If I disconnect the battery and hook it back up, everything works like a charm. Yesterday this method worked for about a day when today I get "bulb out" after ~20 mins on driving. If there a code I can creal with vag com? Thanks in advance.

A new bulb holder will fix the issue - or you can spend lots of time fiddling and trying to modify it.

No DTC's require clearing as I recall.
