We have 3 pairs of rear lights on our 540/6. The top pair are red and are activated when the car's headlights are on or if the car brakes. The middle pair are the indicators / hazards.

Does anyone know what the bottom pair are for? I'm wondering if the wiring is wrong in the 'van or with the towbar electrics and whether the headlights & brakes shouldn't be sharing the same pair?

I would guess rear fog lights, maybe fog light one side, reversing light the other.

Just had a look at mine; both are red so, guess its both rear fog lights. There must be at least one rear fog light by law.

Aha! Thank you! We've definitely not tested foglights when hitched up, so they could be...will test on Friday when we pick the van up.

Navver - yes they're both red. I did a google before posting this thread and apparently reversing lights are not required.

Come to think of it, when I collected my van from the dealers, they asked me to switch on the rear fog lights when they were checking the rear lights for me. I could hardly remember how to do it because I never use them.

I think they confuse following drivers who can't tell if they're fog lights or brake lights.
