Reverse / Reversing light/s

[MovieDude]

That looks great

[Mk R]

Ive done it on my Mk6 GTI and did the same on my R. See info here: My other German fling: Mk6 GTI

The standard tail light on the drivers side has a fog light built into it which is not serviceable (not accessible without cutting the light housing open) so you need to source a European right hand side light (BKS Tuning sell standard lights and also the Golf R LED lights) which uses an actual reverse light. Then you have to tap into the reverse light wiring on the left side and run + and - cables over to the right hand side and wire it in so that both sides turn when you engage reverse.

Photos don't do it justice...they are waaay brighter than the stock bulbs. Visibility when reversing at night is much better too.

Also - as a side note. If you are chasing even more light for when reversing, upgrading your number plate lights to brighter LED's also helps and also looks really nice to have the crisp white light.

Lucas, that is one primo looking car right there. Nice work man!
