Rear Bumper Wiring - Got Confused.

[omri617 18]

Hi all

Assembling my GTI , and got confused with these wires :

 

The long red & green wire - where does it go?

and in the second photo , the one i am holding.

one should be for reverse for sure , but none of them seems to work.

depends on the year and whether it has had a complete phase 2 conversion or not, phase1-1.5 it will be the Fog lamp and two number plate lamps only, phase2 will be number plate lamps, reverse and fog.

Should the reverse light work when the car is not turned on , but the switch is on and gear is in reverse?

no

The picture above shows the rear lights wiring route for both phase 1 / 1.5 & phase 2.
