Rear brake light blown - help!

My rear passenger side brake light has blown, and the replacement I've got is the wrong one (curse you web sites!

). It appears that due to the fog light the rear passenger side bulb is different to the rear driver's side one??
So to cut a long story short, can anyone tell me the exact bulb I need to replace the passenger side brake light?
Cheers.

it's a 380 bulb. You can also check on Phillips Automotive bulbs site. they're correct. Or consult the full list of bulbs someone posted 6 months back.

Thanks, I saw that post, but it's unclear on rear brake lights.
Philips' site is useful, but lists multiple types of bulbs for rear stop lights.. so I'm none the wiser (none of them are the 380 one by the way!

).
I also should have mentioned that I have a facelift (year 2000) S4 sedan

Rik was right.
Here's a facelift rear light cluster

Part numbers for the bulbs

Does the error code have to be cleared by VAGCOM?
