I've tried searching and have found a link which tells me how to change the bulb, but can anyone recommend an error free white bulb. I don't use them often but hate the yellow stock look against the xenons.
Cheers

I've never managed to find any decent bulbs that match my xenons on my Passat. As fog lights are a complete and utter waste of time (especially when you have xenons) it's as well just to not bother turning them on, so the mismatching problem never occurs.

Can't say I've ever used my front fogs on the GTI

I hardly do too but the mrs took mine out the other day in the fog and put them on and I didn't like the look. My journey to work is bad every now and again so just thought it might be a cheap little mod?

i have to use my fogs all the time cos my headlights are like mini maglights ha. got some xenon bulbs in the post though..

I have fitted some PIAA Xtreme white bulbs, expensive £60, but they are very white and allegedly produce light equivalent to 110 watts. They do work well though, better than the standard.

do you get them through the mot ok mustard? i've read that 100w are illegal and won't go through some mots
-
Wow £60/£45. Wouldn't you rather just use that to fuel the car and rag it around a bit & have some fun? :grin:
-
Just an aside but white fog lights won't cut through the fog the same way yellow / off white will. They are that yellowy colour for a reason. Although if its purely for cosmetic reasons it probably doesn't matter.

The bulbs are only 55w, butaccording to the sales pitch, they produce light equivalent to 110w.
Haven't yet had the pleasure of an MOT on this car

I agree, I find my xenons completly rubbish in fog give me standard lights in fog anyday. I would much rather have yellow foglights like they use to be in the 50,60,70s than current day ones. I use my fogs to be seen by other road users who are at junctions waiting to pull out etc when foggy like this week, As they stand out more. They also work well on really thick fog to help illuminate the white line and side of the road to help you get through the really thick fog.

Can't I do both?
-
If its just cosmetic, are these LED replacement fogs any good you see on fleabay?
-
That's what I was originally thinking of tbh? For the sake of £30 its gotta be worth a little look?

You need an uprated loom. Your lights are crap because your probably only getting 9 volts to them. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-GOLF-CORRADO-UPRATED-HEADLIGHT-WIRING-LOOM-SAFE-/140870528891?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20cc89af7b
