Default Check Brake Light

I have the 'Check Brake Light' warning illuminated on my 2000 S40 when I step on the brake pedal. The problem is that it seems that my brake lights work just fine.

The reason I say that they SEEM to work just fine is that I don't actually know which lights are supposed to be illuminated on the rear of the car.

The top two bulbs on each cluster are lit when the headlights are on.

When I depress the brake pedal, the top center light turns on, and only ONE bulb is lit in each cluster... the lower outer most bulbs.

When I press the rear fog light button, only the inner lower bulb lights up on the left cluster but not on the right cluster.

Does this sound right?

Never mind... I figured it out. Somebody installed 5W lamps into the brake light holders. Not nearly enough wattage.
