Default ESP/ABS indicator light on? plus, BRAKE LIGHT indicator light on?

earlier today my ESP and ABS indicator lights came on when the car started up. Restarting the car they didn't turn on. This happened about 3 times today. The book says there is a problem with the ABS? I had to do a pretty hard stop during the day and the ABS seemed to work fine.

Also, my BRAKE LIGHT indicator light was on so I checked my lights. Turns out I had 3, count 'em, 3 bulbs out! There was 1 rear marker light, 1 rear tail light, and 1 rear running light (what's the name of this light that comes on with the switch inside the car for like rear fog lamps?). All of my lights work fine now in the back but the BRAKE LIGHT indicator still stays on. This shouldn't be something I'd have to reset would it?

Any ideas? Thanks!

Default And...what were they thinking?

This, among other issues, make me wonder why after all these years of making automobiles Audi has dumb-dumb-dumb problems like this. And don't even get me going on the water drainage issues...

Still - going down the road makes up for alot.
