This website is saying the fog lights for the current Tiguan are HB4 (9006) style.....so best to check: HB4 (9006) Car Globes | Replacement Car Light Bulbs | Powerbulbs

Not even parker lights. I almost pulled out in front of one of them because they are almost completely invisible when in a dark coloured car.

Absolute pet hate of mine, and what makes it more infuriating is that most don’t seem to understand when I high beam them or turn my lights off and back on again, what that means

I also understand that with modern cars the dash is now always lit up, not just when lights are on, so manufacturers need to also develop better way to ensure in the evenings, lights need to be on...

I believe the unit is called an H8 (with right angle connector). See the attached from Ali Express. I believe these are common to most recent VAG vehicles, but again concerned about the issue with errors. I understand from YouTube vids that it is a simple task to change albeit a bit of a squeeze to access from inside the fender lining. If you browse Ali Ex you will find other sellers providing some info and claiming to be "error free"
I see there are also full LED interior light kits specifically for the new Tigs. I would be interested also to hear from wiser folks.

I have replaced the whole front section with LED bulbs in my Tiguan.
My advice? Forget Aliexpress and other cheap sites when you want to put LED bulbs in your car. I bought a similar LED bulb you had on your left picture and the LED part of the bulb broke off and it fell into the fog light housing. It took me a very patient 40 minutes to get it out. Cheap crap and it gives an error message.

I use Philips Ultinon H7 LED in low beam and KONIK H8/H11 LED bulbs in my fog lights. Also have LED bulbs in high beam and in my DRL and front indicators.

Blingworks is highly recommended as they sell quality and tested bulbs. Don't buy cheap stuff.

Do you or anyone have instructions on how to remove the foglight bulb from a 2017+ R-Line? Pulling back the fender well on mine means removing the flares. Thanks!

(Not) sorry to typecast, but fancy someone going for the ‘fully sik’ r-line kit and also being a person who likeS to drive around with the fog lights on... I’ll also assume with only the parkers functioning in the main headlight assembly.

I’m normally not a deliberate jerk, I promise.

So I did this to my NAR 2019 R Line since I too hated the yellowish fogs not matching the LED headlights. I’m happy with the results and I have used them in fog with no issues. I also enabled them for turning and I like how they fill a gap between the headlights and the cornering lights. Here’s the link for the kit I bought:

Complete LED Fog Light Kit fits: Tiguan | deAutoLED

Easy to install, but recommend a second set of hands. Just unscrew the inside wheel well liner with a T20 and pull back. Turn the wheel inward so you have room in the front. LED should be at the 3 and 9 position, if at 6 and 12 you’ll get flashed by oncoming traffic. 3M adhesive for the ballast to mount, some have used zip ties. Took about 45 minutes total.
