Rear fog light when braking

Its because the connection earths through the foglight.
Check the terminals (there should normally be some form of corrosion on them) then remove it with nail file, dremel, etc. all should be fine.
Its the crap design of the light clusters that allows water in there. Some people reckon to use wd-40...but I haven't, I just use the demel on the plug and also the connection. That should sort it out.
You will notice it more if you turn braking whilst your indicator is on, the fog light will really blink depending on how corroded the connections are.

mine does this too... but only the dash light. the fog light itsself doesnt come on or flas when the indicators are on. Also, that only happens when i indicate right.

Check the connections to the rear light on the right hand side. Then what I've said in the post above should suffice.

i checked the connections and they looked fine to me... would u suggest just spraying a little wd40 in the connections?

mine did this too,
i just wiggle the coonection,
and it stops for about 3months,
mine did the dash fog light,
and indicator right,
and the lil trip clock dimmed asif you'd turned the side lights on
err..
and if you opened the door with the hazards on, it wud beep asif youd left your lights on,
and if you indicated right with the brake on, the two lights wud flash
(brake light inbetween flashes of the indicator)
rather annoying

Check them again, make sure there is no play in the connection.

it all looks normall under the bulbs... jus looks like it could benefit from a little wd40 tbh lol

Both sides????
Just get a nail file or sandpaper and run it over each one of the prong (connections), then see if it happens.

Some people use it...I'm not a fan...but as you see fit.
I haven't used it on mine, but the issue does recurr every so often.
