i also noticed while taking off the bumper bar, a little connector that would go to where a fog light might be but mine are incorporated into the headlights... does it do anything / have a purpose ?

I watched the video here:
1AAuto.com Replace Change Headlight Volkwagen Jetta 1999-04 - YouTube

but he doesn't actually (from what I can tell) put a new bulb into the new headlamp he puts in...

then I found this wiring diagram:
Volkswagen Jetta Headlight Bulbs

and i'm worried that the retaining clip (2) might have come loose...

pics of the bulbs sitting in the housing... are they meant to be rotated maybe ?

The bulbs have 3 legs that are used for proper alignment, so you should be right.
The electrical thingy is actually a thermometer. There is a place for it to clip into so it does not swing around.
