In my case, Y11 build, fog lights as factory fitting only available with sport pack.
re retrofit advised NO NO as causing big problems. Only reliable way is to install entirely seperate wiring loom, fuse, relay, and switch.
EG, do not attempt to integrate into VW system
Darn it, as big fogs where I live, and there are WOMBATS out there at night!
Not exactly the same as fog lights/lenses but Osram 65w Rallye globe made an appreciable improvement to our Tiguans night driving w/out fitting additional lights (regretfully didn't spec fogs), Candlepower in the US, $23 ea (fitted 4) $15 post. Might be some legal issue if ever identified (have to be pretty keen inspections unlike retro-fit xenons)??? Same-ish bulb life as OEM globes, no 'try hard' light diminishing, (sp edit) glare inducing blue tint either. Have a look into the Tiguan forums for more about fog lights. There seem to be options out there using OEM partsfor $3-400. Also if I recall a VW OEM replacement rotary/pull out switch. Probably the same aftermarket landscape for Golfs as Tiguans.
