MK7 GTI Facelift

[SRGTD]

And now looking.... this GTI review of a (German?) one:

At 1:01 you can see the light switch, only one fog light switch position... for the rear, like on a R.

I'm very confused! Perhaps someone on the forum who's about to order a GTI or GTD can get clarification from their dealer, or maybe Lee (evo1986) could clarify if he reads this thread.

Like I said.... I've just seen a brand spanking new GTI 7.5 with its transit wrappers still on and it DEFINITELY has no front fogs nor a switch for them.

Definitely no lights in the fins on the UK cars from last week and the light switch is the same as the linked video above:

Can anyone see fogs on this video?

Or the pics

No, look at the light switch, you can see only rear fog marker on the left hand side.

BTW one thing I did notice earlier, on the GTI I looked at the finned bit where the fogs would be is open to the rear.... so its a hole, so in some photos what you THINK you can see is whatever through the hole.

[I wanted a GTi]

Seen a GTi today on the road and it had front fogs. He was turning right across me and I stoped to let him turn right so I could have a look at it. Not sure if it was oryx white or white silver because the sun was shinning right on his car. Looked really nice from what I seen of it.

Going off on a tangent from the fogs or no fogs debate, who actually uses front fog lights?

I'd rather not have them to be honest because they have made no difference for me even in really thick fog and then I forget to turn the buggers off.

[fredgroves]

I use them... Actually for fog too, not just driving around like a cock

Can confirm that the white Mk7.5 GTD at our local dealers did not have fog lights.

The LED fogs on my GTD, and now the GTI, are the first fog lights I have found to be fit for purpose, both as fog lights ( !! ) and as fill in lights when I'm on poor or unmade roads at night ( !!! ). Be a bugger if, having finally got a decent design, they ditched them.
