Had the fog lights and CarStyle4you switch installed over the weekend.. Only issue is that they sent the ‘pushbutton’ type instead of the ‘switch’ type that I had ordered.. Anyways made it work in the end.. It looks great!



When activated the light changes from red to orange.. Pretty cool as I had thought the thing only lights up red (like the TCS button) so yeah it was a nice surprise:



Matches the orange glow of the A/C buttons.. Very OEM



The fog lights really do improve the look of the car.. They’ll definitely come in handy when the F3 gets fogged up at night..

Great job on the lights & switch, I am looking to do similar. Can you share what fog lights/assembly you went with (eBay seller?) and do you have the wiring diagram/instructions you used.

I am going to install the garage door opener switch as well.

Thanks

Hey mate.. I can't take the credit.. My auto elec mate did all the wiring for me!

I bought the lights from these guys (Jumbo Depot on eBay): 10 VW GOLF MK6 TDI TSI JETTA GRILLE FOG LIGHT LAMP KIT | eBay

I already had a set of fog grilles from john 118TSI's mk6 part out from a few months back, so i only bought the lights from these guys. Can't comment on the grilles you see in that ad.. But they should be ok..

Just a warning as well.. The bulbs that come with the housing are rubbish! They heated up and died within a few days of installation. I've replaced them with Philips 9006 HB4 Power2Night +50 globes.. They are excellent.. Longer, whiter, brighter beam.

19" Talladegas

Nice Ride

I too am looking to put some 19' Talladegas (Black) on my CSG GTI. Did you have much trouble with it all? Did you fork out the dollars at the stealership or manage to find a private sale? If you buy them from the dealership will they help you out with installation and balancing or will you have to pay them a mint on top of the already huge price of the rims to get it done?

Thanks for the info, will look further into it.

Again, good job looks great.

A few weekends ago I had Lamin-X installed on the tail lights.. Big thanks to David from Reflect Effect.. Job well done!








Some before and after pics:






I ordered the 6% tint from Lamin-X direct:

VW Golf VI (2010, 2011) Tail Light Covers

Installation at Reflect Effect was $85.. After watching David apply the film, I realised there was no way I could have done it DIY.. Would have bodged it up for sure!

[Ryan_R]

Looks really nice Cap'n. Does anyone know of a Melbourne place that would do this without bodging it up? I need to eventually get my windows tinted as well and the Lamin-X matches it very well.

[+] Looks like I've finally seen another Mk6 Golf with Beige interior too
