Sorted out the gremlin - took the lights to be checked by a VW specialist who realised the fog lights and brakelights LEDs where inverted when compared to the OEM units - something I obviously didnt realise since I cant quite see my vrake lights while driving lol!!
So he just connected them as per OEM units and hey presto everything worked perfect...
btw I am an avid fan of everything OEM but the lights IMHO really need updating and those units bring the 986 so bang up to date esp at night!
My two cents worth
