    Brake light on tailgate

    Hi all,
    Just wandering if anybody knows if the lights on a tailgate can be used as a brake lights , there is a part on a light that never comes on and i was wandering if it has LED module in there and if it can be used as a brake light.
    I tried following Golf R guide but looks like its not the same.

    I had a look at mine, and can confirm there are no LED's inside.

    I actually think this is just a reflector.

    Check the European models - they may have lights in them and you could buy the Euro spec inner lights. I did a similar thing on my Golf R because I wanted 2x reverse lights (they only have 1x reverse light here in Aust) not only for symmetry, but for better lighting at night when reversing.
