Astra rear lights miswired
Hi all. I have purchased a Vauxhall Astra from Vauxhall. I only noticed today that something seemed funny with the reverse light.
The year of the car is 2009 and the reverse light is on the right and fog light on the left. But why is the fog light white and reverse light red? My guess is that they are wired up wrong. Or am I being stupid and not doing something right? Please help as it is really annoying me and no feeds on the Internet make me think that something is wrong with my car.

It's a minor misbuild. They are wired up the wrong way round. Or they have lenses for a LHD model rather than a RHD. Back to the supplying dealer to get them fixed.
