i had both reverse lights out so i bought two new bulbs from halfords took the covers off and fitted the new bulbs 1 didn't even have a bulb in lol neways i plugged the plugs back in and tested them but they don't work?? all the other lights work fine and couldn't see any wires missing to the main plug?? can anyone shed any light on this problem for me?
-
check the reverse light switch on the gearbox the wires break connecting to the switch. Also check the fuses
-
where are both of them on my mk 4 cause only just got the car
-
reverse light switch is next to the starter motor on most 1.8 t some can be at the back of the gearbox nest to the diff on older cars. check the fuses in the fuse box on the right hand side of the dash when you open the door.

took the covers off and fitted the new bulbs 1 didn't even have a bulb in lol
Are you sure you have changed the right bulbs sounds like you have replaced the fog light bulbs? MK4 golf only has one fog light - and one bulb fitted.

Its the bulbs at the bottom nearest the boot ( not the outside of the car) if that makes sense! :grin:

the reverse switch is on top of the gearbox!
it will still register the outside but its meant to be clipped to the front bumper
