Changing rear bulbs

[Hulmie]

i changed a rear light bulb on my golf on sunday and the holders come out fine if you take the wiring plug off first and then unclip the holder. then just slides out. I did pull the carpet back to give more access.

What i would like to know though is i only have a fog light working on the drivers side but there is a bulb on the passenger side where the fog light would be but it doesnt work.

Do golfs only have 1 fog light at the rear? if not then may have a problem as i tried another bulb and it still didnt work.

Normal mk4 golf only has one fog light although it has all the wiring for two

If the wiring is there for 2 rear fogs, how come sticking a bulb in don't work?

Soz i ment to say all the parts are there meaning the bulb holder ect - as you say thay are not connected up 

[MrTurner]

Ah cool.  I'll get round to running a wire to it one day    I like things to be symetrical 

[Hulmie]

cheers for that Rich. Just a case of running wire across from the other side then and all will be working.
Hopefully wont effect any MOT laws or owt
