    MK5 Golf Lighting Issues

    Recently picked up an MY09 MK5 GTI Pirelli Edition which has plenty of issues I'm trying to work out, the main being multiple light unit failures. I currently have the following positions out which are not remedied by new bulbs (after switching in bulbs that are currently working, or new).

    Drivers side low beam
    Drivers side high beam
    Drivers side rear indicator
    Drivers side rear brake
    Drivers side inner rear driving
    Drivers side reverse

    Passenger side fog light
    Passenger side rear brake
    Passenger side outer rear driving

    As most of the issues are on the drivers side I'm assuming a fuse is out, although I've already checked the engine bay fuse box and visually can't see any blown. Will pick up some replacements and test anyway.

    In the mean time, it would be helpful if someone could check over the image of my fusebox and advise if there's any missing / wrong amperage? I've checked the owners manual and a few online resources but "Depending on the version and specifications of your vehicle, the fuse numbers and positions may differ to those given in the table" has me concerned as they don't align 100%.

    Thanks in advance!

    That is not the fuse panel you are looking for.
    You want the cabin fuse panel which is in the end of dash board drivers's side when door is open.

    Thanks JustCruisn - managed to solve it with new fuses, it was actually the engine bay fuse box.

    In case it helps anyone in the future, looking at the image in my original post it was a 30amp fuse at the very top right of the fusebox, above the yellow 20 amp. If you have an issue with multiple bulbs out at once, it's possible this fuse is burnt out. I ended up finding similar advice on other forums as well, which is reassuring.
