Another reverse light option from Bold Sport. Has bulb details in a diagram so it should be pretty easy to compare this to the Octavia's bulb.

Also just to put my 3c in anyone reading this, after the fiasco getting rear brake lights for my hatch (also the same as the rear fog lights) I have a big pack or OSRAM 21w/4 bulbs so if anyone wants some let me know. They will be much cheaper than what the dealers charge for the same thing.

Ok, one step forward
These white LED bulbs work with no error - but the red version does result in a canbus error
They are advertised on eBay as "25w WHITE CANBUS ERROR FREE CREE P21W 382 BA15s 1156 LED CAR BULB REVERSE"

the red ones need to be dual channel LED, similar to the dual filament globes from factory. I think they need to be brake/tail light LED

On the hatch yes, on the wagon there are three separate single filament P21W bulbs and a PY21W for the indicator

ohhhh actually youre right
same on the hatch.
top one is dual tail/brake. two down each side are single. bottom one is dual tail/fog.
single for reverse and indicator.

These are not working error free - boo hoo
They don't generate errors when you turn the car on (the previous set generated errors immediately)
However they do generate errors when you use them, so when I engage reverse a light bulb failure appears on my dash and in the MFD

resisters?
Volkswagen Fanatic
Yeah - it's looking like that's what has to be done
(I was hoping I would not have to do that - it's a little bit messy)

I have yellow LEDs for all my indicators. No errors. They are generic Chinese ones from aliexpress so I can't find a link at this point.
I tried LEDs for reverse and stop lamps but they were not bright enough.
Went the route of buying complete tail lamp assemblies that are from the Chinese Octy but turned out to be for the sedan only.
So still have them if anyone is interested.
