My 164 also has the same problem, or did. Some times when the brake is applied, the warning light comes on. I cleaned the contacts and the problem went away.
The bulb out indicator works by measuring the difference in current draw from one side of the car compared to the other side. Any imbalance will trigger the light. In your case, a light on one side comes on a fraction of a second before the other side - or the bulbs are different manufactures. The lights work, but need attention.
