Goofy1202 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hi Guys! I have small problem with my Lupo Cambridge rear lights. As you can see I have two different lamps... Could you tell me what OEM number has lighter and darker one? Unfortunately I do not have any sticker with VW part number :/ I'm looking for one piece to get perfect a*s Of course I would like to know OEM number of this darker... Cambridge lamps are hard to get in Poland :/ Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 has someone smashed the orange filter out of only one light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofy1202 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I have these orange filters in both lamps... There is difference in plastic... One is lighter and one is darker ;/ I also saw 2 different types of lamps in my city on two different cars Please see attached pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 As i'm lead to believe, the darker reversing lamp is an indicator of the presence of water :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofy1202 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Lamp is dry inside. I had one set which was leaking and had the same color. Only one lamp then had a fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 There are so many vdubs with mixed shade rear lenses out there. The worst are usually mk4 golfs. I have a theory that it has something to do with UV in sunlight. I think the older they get, the lighter they become. I know vintage car people always keep talking about it.

Mobieus_uk Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 to get a match im guessing both need to be replaced, same age same box they should be same shade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofy1202 Posted May 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 They have the same production date :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
