Fog lights

[The_Hawk]

What is standard and what is not?

I've had the car for a few months now and have only just realised I have rear fog lamps

I know the fronts were added, but rears? Is there supposed to be a seperate switch for front/rear fogs or is it all done by the one switch on the headlights?

Front Fogs were optional in Aus. A single rear is standard. Yeah its a seperate switch, but on the same knob!

You should be able to switch the front foggies on then both front and back together, ist a european thing.

Im not sure how it works on a golf as i dont own one yet, but hopefully soon haha, so yea thats how ive seen it work on other european cars dont see why golf would be different except for the fact that we got the crappy version and had to fit front foggies ourselves, correct me if im wrong.

Cheers

i know on mine to opperate the rear foggie, you just turn the headlights on, then pull the switch out, the rear foggie turns on along with an indicator lamp. I would assume yours is a two stage pull out knob?

[The_Hawk]

Nope, single stage pull switch that turns on both the rears and the fronts.

You can put another bulb in the back to have two rear lights... I find it helps for parking at night and for irritating tail-gaiting drivers when they stop ay traffic lights.

The rears were stock on the mk3 in Australia, and they were also one on each side so they were extra bright! Also the fronts where not an option they weren't even legal hence the fake foglights! You can get ebay ones that do the trick abd with this you will need the 2 stage euro light switch comes out twice pulled fronts first and then the rears!
