Not exactly. We have the rear fog light where the US cars have their brake
light. We have the brake light where you have the tail light. We have the tail
light where you have the cat eye. Confused? The thing is that VW used the
circuit board on both sides, and just rearranged the wires. The bulb positions
are equal no matter which side is top, so they only had to make one, instead of
two different.
