How many reverse lights

Hi,

Fitted new rear lights to facelift 2013 and only right side reverse light works, changed the bulb in left still and still no reverse light on left side

Every other light works ok, so thinking it might just meant to have a single right reverse light as many cars do.

Don’t know whether originals had both reverse lights as they were broke when I got car.

Anyone with facelift later lights could enlighten me !

Thanks

Pretty easy to run an additional live feed from the working one if you can't resolve it. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Don't forget the FET may turn off power if wiring is or has been damaged.

Thanks for all the help

Now sorted, connector pin wasn’t pushed in far enough from light unit, pulled it through and we have a reverse light, at least for now as not a great fit in the connector block !

Regards

I changed my reflectors to LED's that work as side lights, brake lights, indicators and reversing lights but I only use the reversing lights. Did it as I have a regular reverse in very poor lighting.
Helped but wasn't something to write home about, until I added the reversing camera and now it can be pitch black but looks like daylight when using the camera.

That's why I fitted the additional led reverse lights, often have to reverse on a dark lane or single track road leading to our house. The standard reverse lights were useless, OK to tell another driver you are reversing but couldn't see with them. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948
