What to Pay Attention to When Replacing the Reverse Light of Volkswagen Bora
2 Answers
When replacing the reverse light of Volkswagen Bora, pay attention to whether the size and current of the replacement reverse light are appropriate. Related introduction: 1. Introduction: The Bora is a classic model under Volkswagen. The interior of the new Bora draws on the simple and symmetrical design style of the high-end model Magotan, highlighting a stable and grand atmosphere. 2. Design: The Bora adopts the family-style front face design of Volkswagen. The headlights are clearly layered and designed with a flying wing style, giving a strong three-dimensional sense. Compared with the current model, the design of the rear has changes in the outline and light groups, and the body lines are also significantly different from the current Bora, becoming more fluid, while adopting a newly designed aluminum alloy wheel style.
Last time I replaced the reverse light on my Bora myself, I realized the most crucial thing is identifying the correct bulb type. The factory uses a single-contact 1156 halogen bulb – buying the wrong double-contact version online would be wasted effort. Use plastic pry tools when removing the lamp housing, as metal tools can scratch the clips. Always remove the car key and wait 10 minutes before starting to avoid short-circuiting and blowing fuses. When unplugging connectors, note the clip position and pulling direction – yanking forcefully can break wires. Never touch the glass part of new bulbs with bare hands, as oil residue causes localized overheating and cracking. After installation, have a friend help test brightness by engaging reverse gear with brakes applied. Finally, check that the housing seal isn't pinched – misalignment leads to rainwater leaks. Keep a phone mount handy to record the process for review.
