[Vwdiesel] Hazard/Rear lights grounds

[mark shepherd]

Kneale, If similar to a 'Q' then they are dotted on the back of the rear 
light cluster. They have to be traced though because there are also spare 
males for the other lights too like stop and blinkers. I guess to let you 
stick something in the rear window, or perhaps the original intention was to 
power a towbar, but fitters tended to splice into the colo[u]red wires for 
ease of locating
