    Hi,

    Got the same, you will probably find that you in fact only have one reversing light on the nearside. Although the offside looks as if it has one, it doesn't.

    If you have xenons and you have the led tail lights I think this only has 1 reverse light on the saloon

    The normal non led clusters have 2 reversing lights

    I do have adaptive xenon, why on earth is there only 1 reversing light? that's just daft, can a second be added then?

    take your cluster out and see if there is a spare space for the reverse light.

    Paul (brycie) created a guide to remove the cluster.

    See attachment.

    I posted on the same subject a short while ago. I have the LED rear clusters with reverse lights both sides and they're next to useless.

    Yours is a facelift model with all-LED lights. The OP has the pre-facelift model, which uses a bulb in the one reversing light fitted.

    Cheers!

    Oh I see...are they the same clusters though, if so this would mean that even sorting out a working reverse light on the other side isn't going to be sufficient improvement?

    Nope. The facelift model clusters are all-LED and are shallower and extend into the boot (on the saloon) whereas the pre-facelift clusters are deeper and sit only in the rear wings.

    Cheers!
