I have now upgraded all of my tail / brake lights to LED. When I connected the 3rd brake light, I got the ABS/PSM warning lights. I was thinking a led load resistor from Autozone would be the easy fix. Any suggestions on what i need? How to install?

All brake lights + the 3rd brake light is about 60W in total. I think these will work.
Connect one in parallel to any of your brake bulbs and see if that works. If not, connect both of them in parallel.

That is correct and those are the same ones I've been running for the last 4 years.

It does not matter electrically as all the brake light bulbs are wired in parallel but I would think for easy access it's good to connect the resistors to one of the tail light housings.
Yes, brown means ground for most German cars.

One per tail light. Still getting PSM and ABS lights. I'm assuming it doesn't matter which way is which (+ / -) since they are both the wires are red?
