And first prize goes to "model flyer" for diagnosing this one. If only I had listen to him and not VIDA!!!
When I plugged VIDA in for more detailed information it indicated that the problem I had was at the "rear" of my vehicle (as you can see from the screen prints above).
Sooo, armed with this information I replaced all rear lights - note: there are three very expensive ones at $30CAD a piece (say 15 quid each)!
I re-started the car, the damned warning message did not go away. Just for kicks I took the headlight assembly right off and took a close look at it. I popped the smaller cover off the back (where the indicator light is located) and (just like Model Flyer suggested) there is the tiniest little 5W5 light in there next to the indicator light. The filament was shot.
So the moral of this story is that VIDA is not much help when trouble shooting this very unhelpful "Bulb Failure - Position Light" message. That and listen to Model Flyer more closely!
