MK7 GTI Facelift

I'd much sooner have the fogs, let's hope you guys whose cars are near get them factory fitted as per the brochure!

Mines at Grimsby port too so hopefully get it soon I'll report back on foggate!

I'm guessing that the answer will be that the LED headlights incorporate "all weather technology" and that you have this feature...

I honestly can't see them saying anything else and I am sure VW UK are aware of fog-gate on this forum!

Given the choice I suppose i'd rather have them than not. I do think it looks better with. But if they're incorporated into the headlight units in some way then I could live with that.

So you recon that they make two different headlight units for Ireland and the UK or that they thought that Ireland has had enough hardship over the years with crap weather and deserve free fog lights because of it.

Each country's vw franchise make their own choices as to what is standard and what is paid for options. In Germany you get virtually nothing as standard... Still no idea what vw UK had in their minds though. Not even offering it as a option...

I kind of meant my post as a bit tongue in cheek as being Irish I know only too well what the weather is like.

Would that be dynamic curve lighting?

So does this mean that the cars seen with fog lights, don't have dynamic curve lighting? Was that the LED option that was on the configurator?

The plot thickens.

Edit: if I had to decide between DCL and Fog lights. It would be dynamic curve lighting every time. It is a really good feature.

That will be your average 'not a clue dealer' then in that case. How could any dealer dealer not know what gearbox is an option on a car they sell.
