    That's only a rear fog switch. You need the euro one that has two little fog light pictures like mine

    Then u don't have a fog light switch. Which means u most likely won't have any wiring for the fogs.
    Are u sure your one looks EXACTLY like that ? (Except its rhd)
    Do u have a plug hanging behind the places where the fog lights get placed in ?
    Pics ?

    Haha u got your answer, never mind my post. U have a standard golf headlight switch.

    You don't need a euro switch to fire up the front fogs. I have the stock single pop switch like stef has posted above and it powers my fogs fine. But that doesn't mean you'll have the wiring harness.

    Does the wiring harness include cables that run to the front? because I have those cables hooked on the left and right lower plastic grills things just below where fogs should go. The cables are plugged into a socket that prevents them from dangling about.

    As I said before though, I'm getting 3V from these cables so they must be connected at least to something.

    I'm just going off personal experience and what the 'tex says... My single switch didn't work and I had run into a similar problem - sourced a Euro switch and that answered all my questions.

    Picture of my switch and the front cable.
    Can confirm that the fog switch does turn on the rear fog. Thought it would turn on the fronts too.

    That's the outside air temp sensor, use the MFA button on the windscreen stalk and it'll show u the outside air temp.
    The one u have on the passenger side I've never seen before, so know idea what it is, could be the same as the driver side one.
    Plugs for the foglights can't extend down to the plastic grills below.

    ...whoops. Saw kits on eBay that used the lower grills as a fog and assumed they got power from these, the connector looked identical. I should probably check what things are before plugging stuff in.

    At least the mystery is solved. Thanks.

    A work around would be using the rails from the rear fog to power some front fogs, but that could get messy.
    Looks like I won't be getting fogs any time soon then.

    Use a multimeter to find which pins behind the switch give power to the rear fogs. Then run wires from those pins to fogs.
    A few people have done it already.
