Rear brakes

[S47]

Recently the wife's 2002 beetle passed MOT but had an advisory - 'rear pads near minimum thickness'.
A month or so after MOT yellow brake warning light came on, on checking the handbook it says its coz the rear pads need changing OK fair enough - Well today I changed pads fully expecting the warning light to go out - NOPE it's still on!
Any Ideas how to get the light off - do I need to reset the system somehow, similar to the service warning indicator ??

Couldn't see a sensor of any sort on rear.
Fronts have the audible 'squeaky' type of indicator, the front pads were changed B4 the MOT so they are OK,
Fluid level is also maxed - so its not that either - I'm baffled????
The new rear pads were identical to those removed - no wires on either?

Don't have access to the vag codes you mention, However Disconnecting battery - maybe that'll work, if no one else can suggest a remedy I'll try the battey disconect

Rear brake lights work OK, so it ain't that.

Thanks guys problem is NOT with fronts as I mentioned in my 1st post.
Battery disconnect didn't work either
I sense a bulb removal imminent

Yep thats the yellow symbol on the display. Brakes work perfectly OK, so I know there's nowt wrong with them.
Bloody stupid German elctrics - oh for reliable Japanese electrics!!
Any easy way to reset, or is bulb removal the only option??
Please don't suggest taking it to a VW Scalper[dealer] - that ain't gonna happen

OK U win - I'll try cutting and joining the sensor wires as suggested, many thanks
