Should corsas have one or two reverse lights?

Post by Jimi137 »

Basically what the question says. Ive got a 2000 GLS model and after taking the rear light clusters out to replace a bulb noticed that the space for the reverse light on the drivers side is just a melted hole with no space to even fit a new bulb into. Is this correct or should there actually be a bulb there? Is it an MOT failure if only one reverse light is working cuz i know some cars only have one to start off with?

not sure if its a MOT faliure but law states you have to have atleast one on the passenger side.

sounds like a simple fix tho, just pop to scrappers and get another bulb holder cluster.
infact, go one better i seen some LED ones on ebay £90
