90 TSI Fog lights

**oileoi** · 19-11-2009, 05:31 PM

Guys I received a called from dealer my today to advised that my car would be landing on the 6 of December, however I though I had order the car with fog lights and apparently I DIDN'T

Does anyone knows if the fog lights can be fitted afterwards?

Foglights can be retrofitted from memory.

Make sure you didn't get charged for them when you pay for it.
Also make sure you don't use them when they aren't needed as they are cracking down on miss-use now.

Does anyone knows how much would it be? as they quoted me $400 if I have had order them with car. Can these be done at the dealer or would it be an aftermarket kit?

IIRC the salesman toid me they would be something like $2000 if they were installed later, as the mechanics didn't like installing them. This was after we had ordered them at $400 ex factory on our 118TSI. So I reckon it would vary. If it's on your order, stick to your guns at $400.

In QLD at least.

Pity they were not included in the car order

oh well I guess i'll just have to live with out them for now. $2K for fog lights seem way to much for me.

Foglights are a waste of time/money.

They're illegal to use except under certain circumstances in every state (also every developed country).

Haha, agreed.

I have not once encountered fog that required me to use them (mind you I live in QLD, maybe tassie or vic would be different)

They are great for making you look like a douche and annoying oncoming traffic though.
