Would anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the rear lights on a Skoda Superb MY2018 Estate from "low functionality" to high functionality so the inner rear tail lights illuminate?

If so what parts and amount of work would be involved?

Thanks and Happy New Year

For a 2018 there is only 1 kind of tail light, there are no low/high versions. 

Only variants are right and left hand drive. 

 

I was wrong it seems. There are 2 types. 8SK and 8SP are the PR codes.

I think I have a MY2018 model.

It is a UK SE Technology first registered in November 2017.

It has the sleak all touch MIB 2.5 Amundsen,  cornering lights ACC , front and rear sensors. Electric seat and dimming mirror.

But the inner rear "tail lights" do not illuminate 

My guesstimate here is low functionality LED.

The OP is referring to the low functionality lights which light up in the rear wings only, the high functionality also include rear lights in the boot section as well.

That's incorrect - there r different versions. High & Low versions.  There was a thread about it yonks ago - will find it.

 

U can tell by the inside chrome caps for each bulb, as well as if the inner lights light up or not.

High version

Both inner and outer lights r illuminated. 

Chrome caps.

 

 

Low version

Only outer tail light is illuminated.

No Chrome caps.

Thanks , that is exactly it.

I am hoping there is a way to upgrade the low to high version. Even just the illumination of the inner tail lights will be sufficient.

Updated my post above, it does appear it was wrong.

 

Yes it can be done, may possible require a few extra wires and the leuchte channels updating accordingly but yeah its not a terrible job to do.

Any guides or advice from someone who has actually done this?

I am fairly sure as mentioned in the links above that a led strip / "bulb" is required as the low function inner tail light strip does not include the led.
