    No bulb out error either, these ones seem to have enough resistance by themselves ...
    No worries mate
    Yeah I didn't use the fog side myself, tested it and just thought I'd keep the extra one as a spare in case my reverse light does blow

    FYI in reverse light upgrade.

    I found running two of the higher powered bulbs in the reverse light and fog side put too much load on the circuit and began to pulse. Bad news.

    I moved the stock bulb to the fog side and ran a wire over. Also you want a diode for coming back, so it doesn't activate the reverse circuit when you put the rear fog on.

    Well I haven't updated in ages so thought would post up the new mods since my last update... Posting pics in not to distant future

    Installed the sub/amp and box
    lowered it a touch more
    Added sprintbooster that was a freebie
    changed front bar to a GTI style one but have Jetta grills ready to go on
    Also has a rubber lip kit so it's got "lows" at front
    added a ABT rear hatch spoiler
    changed mirror glass to blue tinted
    Shorty antenna (9" one so I still have some radio reception)
    My 17 RS's came in and currently rebuilding to US specs

    Yeah great, I'm actually surprised at how much of a difference it does make (really need to use it on red or leave it off though) but its awesome

    **** it's looking good!
    How much would you be selling them for? Are they 18s?
