Clearing bad brake light indicator

I just replaced a burned out rear brake light bulb, but the computer warning is still there. Does this need to be cleared by the dealer, or someone with a VAG-COM? If not, how does one do it?

Blinker Fluid is NOT rated for use in brake lights, says AoA.

LoL, nice.
