As I was trying to "swap" my (mk4) and my dad's (mk5) the only problem was position/wiring of indicator and brake lamp. If you switch those two wires it has to work...

tell us exaclty what's happening, otherwise it's difficult to figure out what might be wrong.

perhaps something was damaged in the swap over, like an earth?

I can see no logic explanation for that - when I mounted mk5 light it worked fine just colour of light wasn't right. So if you just swap wires it should work. Only reason for that is damage of some wire...
