High-Mount Brake Light M25, Removing And Installing (Rabbit/GTI)
NOTE:
-
Failure of LEDs in high-mount brake lights:
-
Individual LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) in auxiliary brake lights are combined into groups of up to four LEDs and are supplied with power as a
group.
-
The high-mount brake light is designed in such a way that it still meets legal requirements when one LED group fails.
-
If another LED group fails, these legal requirements are no longer met.
-
When one LED group fails, the intact LEDs are given a higher load, by which failure of other LED groups can be assumed in the near future.
-
If more than four individual LEDs in auxiliary brake light have failed, the auxiliary brake light must be replaced (repair measure).

-
Switch off ignition, switch off all electrical consumers and remove ignition key.
