Tiguan Foglight

[aussietig]

The only reason I ordered fogs with my Tiguan was to fill the hole in the front bumper. In the last 2 years I have only turned them on twice for fun. Auto headlight do not work with fogs turned on. How about buy the fogs and install but don't connect them.

Well I'm determined to get my money's worth with them!

They're serving as DRL and cornering lights at the moment on my Tig (after some VCDS tweaking).

Even changed the 9006 globes to PIAA 7500K also ... so that they less resemble fogs when turned on.

Hi AussieTig,

I have finished the trim cut. Due to limited cutting tool and proper holder, I accidentally scratched the trim (few lines near the cut).
If you decided to do it please do not forget to apply masking tape prior cutting it.
Overall it does change appearance of the tiguan.. it looks better with the trim.
I would like to upload the picture into this thread but I am only allowed to select link.
If you'd like I can send you the picture.

Regarding the fog light, I have decided not to install it. I think I can invest the money for something else more important.

Cheers,

sorry mate, you should use the pic button instead of the hyperlink button. The very next button on the right. Like this:




So you've just actually ripped the aluminium trim off the VAGLINK one and stuck it on the original/existing door moulding on your Tig?

Only cut off a bit of the rear passenger ones?

Or did you also need to trim the front ones also?

[noed]

just need to trim the back one.. say around 8cm..
The front one is precise size so there is no trim required.
The 3m double side tape that come with it is too narrow, so it wont stick properly. I am currently removing it trying to clean up the tape and replace with wider and ticker 3m adhesive.
It could have been nice VW has the strip as an optional factory rather than add-on by our self. it looks really nice with the car.

Forgot to mention this trim I bought off the ebay...not the vaglink. (do they actually sell one???)

IVAGLINK R Molding Kit

nice one, it looks better on genuine molding...
it seems the back molding is actually longer than the front one, could this be for China market?

Yes .. you will notice that you can't actually buy that from VAGLINK anymore.
The "OUT OF STOCK" message is bull****! Just too lazy to get rid of the item from their webpage.

I guinea pigged this one and did tell them (VAGLINK) that it's for the longer wheel base Tigs built for the Chinese market.

I got my full money back and got to keep it.

Still sitting in the garage!
