You need a fog loom, you can pick one up from a scrappies. The loom is simple plug and play.
And as mentioned you will need the switch

Yep...  or look on ebay for the loom and get ripped off!  :grin: :angry:


if your unlucky, all the bits you need can set you back a bit! i won some fogs on ebay which i could do with not of having! £42 + 6 postage!  :sad:

On my first mk3 which didn't have front fogs I wired them myself.

Ran new cables and placed a separate switch on the dash (in one of the blanking plates under heater controls)

I know that this is a long way of doing it but as I had left over power cable it cost next to nothing to do, only time.

Plus I was able to run front fogs separately without any side lights  :wink:

Totally not on subject but thought that this maybe of interest???  :huh:

^^^ that's the guy I bought my loom from, fast postage  :wink:

I just bought the parts over time when they came up on the bay. I just placed a bid for what I was willing to pay and if I got outbid then fair enough but in the end the switch cost me £6 including postage, loom £16 all in and the fogs came with the crystal indicators from a show last year for £40  :wink:
