    Polo 6R Reverse light-lamp base type?

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me the base type for the (single) reverse light on Polo 6R (my14 model). I've done some research on the web and I think that it has a BA15s base which is (as I understand) 15mm diameter with symetrical pins. However, the stuff that I have read is a bit cryptic so I'd welcome confirmation from anyone- please.

    Also, has anyone ever seen a chart of all of the lamp types on the Polo (this might be asking too much from VW)?
    Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is on-line, in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the expertise of the wider forum! Thank you.

    Hey mate,

    Yes the reverse light is a BA15s base with a P21W bulb.

    Other lights in the rear panel are:
    P21W - brake lights
    PR21W - brake lights (EU black tails only)
    PY21W - indicators
    H21W - rear fog light (using a base converter from BA15s to BA9s
    W5W - rear parkers (L shape)

    Front headlights are:
    H7 - Comfortline / GTI low beam and high beam
    W5W - Parkers (all models)
    Indicators - PY21W (all models)
    H4 - Hi/Low beam (Trendline only)

    GTI W/Xenons:
    DS3 - bi-xenon low beam / high beam
    PSY24W - indicators
    H7 - cornering lights

    Other:
    H8 - foglights (all models)

    nomadx38: That's exactly what I wanted! Thanks for the information

    The only other question that I have is "what's the meaning of life"? But I suspect that's probably not a question for this forum!

    Again, many thanks
