the mk 5 Golf has indeed only one reverse light and that's the one of the right side. The left light is the rear fog light. In the UK you can be mistaken that because there you have a white rear fog light

that is probably the best thing to do for a car that still is under warranty

the setup is different for the US GTI correct? (2 reverse lights)
in the pictures of the US gti the lenses look pretty clear, as opposed to red and amber.

I think american GTI's also have only 1 reverse light and a white rear fog light instead of the red rear fog light on the german GTI
