It's the tail light. Access is through a panel in the side of the trunk.
On mine, these seem to fail then fix themselves several times as the
broken filament swings about, catches and welds itself whole again for a
short while.

On my '01 S80 there is a small amber light on the fender in front of the
front doors. These also trigger the bulb failure message on my car.
