I'm wanting to do my double brake light mod, from what I've read on other posts you need some sort of clips? Where can I get these from? Or can anyone point me in the right direction for them at all?
I've read Wak's guide.... But says you need the clips.....

I used some copper contacts from an old light fitting and some tinsnips to shape them, here is a link to a post by a member who has done the same thing:- viewtopic.php?f=2&t=278682&p=2308318&hilit=double+brake+light#p2308318

If you look at the back of the light unit, it's fairly straightforward to work out what needs to be done, one of the twin filament bulbs only has a contact for the 5w sidelight in the holder what you have to do is make a connection for the 21w filament.

Thanks for that mate, that's just the guide I need it looks easy enough too.

You can get the fittings from an old Golf mk2 rear light bulb holder

Yes that's my next task now, sourcing the fittings.... Don't suppose any of the members on here have a couple going spare?

Hi Folks,

I know this is an old post but a few minutes ago I had to move my car and on the dash appeared the warning light for Brake Light Failure.

However, when I checked the passenger side brake light works perfectly and so does the strip light.

Is it possible that the previous owner did this double brake light mod and the bulb on the passanger side has blown and triggered the warning light to appear? It's raining now so I can't physically open and inspect the cluster...

Cheers
