reversing light

[Don tucker]

I would like to get my other reversing light working,would i be able to run a wire from the near side to the off side as the bulb is all in place.

it only has one. The other bulb is there for different countries/configurations.

Yep,i know that,but my drive is long and narrow and two lamps would help a lot,i was hoping to run a single wire fron one to the other,just want to know if i would be doing any damage at all.
Thanks for the quick reply

Modern canbus cars are very sensitive to any additional wiring, I wouldn't touch it. Maybe consider investing in a led reversing bulb instead.

I agree Chris,just hoping someone else had gone down this route and tell me all was ok

I did this on my insignia and it worked a treat. Just ran a wire from one to the other.

An Insignia isn't a VW though!

Is the bulb on the opposite side not for the rear fog lamp?
Anyway, as Chris says, modern cars are a bit sensitive to additional load on the lighting circuits. That's why you need to install a bypass relay when you fit a towbar.

No Flash2,it has a fog lamp bulb as well,but you are putting me of it slowly,would have been great though

Just do it and see if all is ok. If not disconnect it
