Bateleur1 Posted July 13, 2012 Share When I bought my Passat last year I had the same problem. Went back to the agents and they gave me an adaptor plug. Thule also sells adapter plugs. arendoog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V12man Posted July 13, 2012 Share You can get adapter plugs from Bosal as well - probably any towbar show has them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bateleur1 Posted July 13, 2012 Share You can get adapter plugs from Bosal as well - probably any towbar show has them. Depending on your negotiation skills, the one from the agents would be free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclenut Posted July 13, 2012 Share The adaptor plugs are for changing the "size" of the socket. You will possibly still need to re-wire.Have you hooked your car up to a local to a trailer to make sure that LH and RH indicators are actually aligned. If not - re-wire the car. I've just gone thru this process myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edereese Posted November 22, 2020 Share Best is to get yourself a test light and identify the wires on your current plug and just rewire. If you in the southern suburbs of Cape Town, I will gladly assist you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kom Posted November 22, 2020 Share Best is to get yourself a test light and identify the wires on your current plug and just rewire. If you in the southern suburbs of Cape Town, I will gladly assist you.Apparently SRAM and Thule are collabing to make the first wireless AXS standalone tail light bike rack product, the tail light cluster connects to an OBD-II dongle. ???? Jokes aside the way in which you connect your bike rack light cluster to a car is so primitive, honestly can’t believe the hastle I had to go through to get it working.
