Reverse light please help !

[Haych]

When I reverse only the left side is working and not the right. When I tried changing the bulbs I realised the lights on the right were completely different to the ones on the left.

how does it work? When I removed the bulb on the right, the left one also stopped working.

the bulb on the left seems to be a fog light bulb.

The Leon mk 3 only has one reverse light fitted - left side in UK right hand drive, right side for left hand drive cars. The equivalent light on the right(right hand drive) /left (left hand drive) is the single rear fog light, which is a totally different type of bulb to the reverse light on the other side

thank you so much, was wondering why both lights wouldn't light up

If it's a bulb swap it out for a led one looks much better

I'm so sorry but I did laugh when I read your post. I still have people telling me that one of my reversing lights is not working and I have to explain that I only have one.

If you only have a standard reversing bulb, and LED one really helps. This is what I got:

This is pre-facelift. The facelift models have a different connector.

Same, I bought these which are the brightest I have come across so far. Search for "hyperflash" on Aliexpress

When I was indicating left to pull into my drive in my Mk 3.5 Cupra a neighbour told me my left hand daytime running light had failed...

Not sure they do....I changed the reverse light in my 64 plate pre facelift for LED, and swapped back to the standard bulb when I sold the car. Changed the prefacelift for a 19 plate facelift, and the reverse light bulb was exactly the same, and installed exactly like for like

It was something I read on a previous post when I changed to LED a few years ago. I can't find that specific thread but this one also recommends a bulb with the newer spade connector, so they must exist somewhere.

Facelift Leon LED reverse light

Hi, I have a 2018 Leon FR and would like to swap the reverse light to LED so it's brighter and to match the rest of the car which are LEDs, had a look around the forum and most suggest Autobulbs Direct and AGLINT on Amazon so I'm wondering which one is more reliable and last longer?

I have no idea what the cut-off is/was for the change of connector.
