Golf R LED Tail Lights

I noticed today my drivers side reverse does not come on. I checked the connections, switched bulbs from side to side and nothing.

Anyone else have an issue with their drivers side reverse bulb?

This may have to do with the rear fog light being in place of the drivers side backup light. I assume you don't have the rear fog light but it might have to do with some coding bug.

I didn't buy them with the rear fog so I thought it would illuminate normally. Not a huge deal however I would like them both to light up.

Curious how everyone else with them is doing...

Not in person but I know they do that. You can buy kits for other cars that make the lights imitate the Veyron's (I saw a youtube vid of a guy with it on his G35 I think).

Did a quick search.

Is this what you're talking about?

Judging by the video on that site of the Veyron, at about 0:40 you see it reversing. The tail lights only flash when the driver brakes (3rd brake light lights up), which I suspect is just from the camera.

Not that I'm trying to call you out or anything. I just don't see any reason why a car should flash its tail lights while reversing.

I'm no expert on it, but i've seen it on youtube (kind of a poor source) but also on Top Gear a few times when they drag race. When they raced the McLaren F1 and the Veyron, they had some aerial shots and you could see the lights flashing. It's pretty cool but I'm done jacking this thread. The LED lights are cooler for our purposes, only thing stopping me from getting them is that ECS has them backordered till late August.

Flashing of rear lights are simply due to camera not being able to process the light.

If you look @ videos about 997.2 porsche 911, and other new cars, it is the same thing.

All cars with rear LED lights will flash when shot on video.

If you really go and watch them, yes you will see the lights flickering a bit from the camera. That is fine, it does happen. But look harder and you will find videos where they are actually flashing, it has something to do with the second key or putting the rear wing up at the start. If you don't believe me than you haven't looked hard enough.
