    Yes, it should work, if its the strip type it must be min 50% operational.

    Does it have another on the window?

    As above tape it over as this will work once it's not a year where the 3rd light is mandatory.

    An Octavia of mine failed on the third brake not working on the rear window.
    Bought a cheap strip if led off eBay and wired that into the housing. Done the trick. Passed on retest
