of course changing a brake pedal switch will not help in a reversing light problem
they are two totally different circuits
check for a damaged wire at the reverse light switch or bulb holder for the reversing bulbs for a dead short
as for the rest check the IGN fuse under the bonnet
the notorious vw brake light switch!!! what color is your switch, black? purple? green? and are you installing it correctly? you should have the green one for i think it is the latest and greatest revised switch. super easy to do... T20 torx bit to remove panel remove plug from brake switch, turn CCW to remove, take new switch, and W/O pushing the pedal(IMPORTANT!!!) insert new switch and give it a click CW to seat it in place! reinstall connector and panel. let me know if that helps!
Do they keep blowing when you add a new one? If not, the break lights may out due to your break switch. It is a chrome looking cylinder above your break pedal. The pedal actually hits this, the stem of it.
There should be a switch under the brake pedal. This should opearate the brake lights. It is also not impossible for both the brakelight lightbulbs to blow at the same time.
Sometimes a trunklid slamming can break the filaments. Check the switch under the brake pedal first and remember to look at the backwindow light to see if it is working. The brake pedal switch is simple to install. The rear window light may work if the tailight wires are unplugged.
Bulbs are just like a fuse to for they blow out like a fuse. You have a brake light switch mounted near the brake pedal. Check that switch out with a OHM meter. Just unplug the switch and feed the Ohm meters contacts into the switch. Then push the brake pedal down to see if it completes the circuit. If a OL reading is showing at all times the switch is bad and needs to be replaced
