I had the same issue with the left, this wiring is from the guide on the site, in the end I took both lights apart and traced each wire to its bulb and worked it out from there

Swapped the ugly old buttons with the USA Jetta buttons.
The Jetta buttons need to be reworked, but the result is great.
Looks like it came directly from Volkswagen! :D

I bought a complete Jetta unit from Ebay USA, there are plenty to find there.
The unit itself won't fit at all, but the buttons do have exactly the same diameter as the old ones in our Caddy. So I took the buttons off and started to match the fitment to the old ones.

The little button has only to be remachined by cut off the ridges in the inside.
The big buttons as described in the pictures below.

When you do it this way, you don't need to glue them in your unit. :D

I've remachined the inner diameter to match the old buttons (Red arrow). Then machined the lens so that it wouldn't touch the led-ring in the unit (Blue arrow). And pressed in a piece of wood, (round 11mm.) for mounting the Set screw (Green arrow)

Remove the ridges as far as necessary to the fit button well in your unit (Red arrow). I've also mounted a Set screw (M3) opposite to the lens position

Adjust the Set screw so that you get a tight fit with the indicated groove.
