Title: eBay mk4 foglights could you fit these in mk3
Post by: Shizzle on 24 October 2013, 10:52: i only ask this as they are vented and i have a cold intake pipe in place behind original grill and don't like being able to see it from front. Is there any other grill options for the mk3.

Found these do you need front indicators on the bumper or this illegal.

Post by: bigberty101 on 24 October 2013, 14:12: you need the indicators on the front somewhere, I personally would keep them there. they fit in the lower grill's don't they, wire them straight into your existing fog loom of you have bankers in place

Post by: bigberty101 on 24 October 2013, 14:26: its ok, the fogs normally fit next to the indicators, some come with blanks, the ones on ebay fit in the lower grills, I don't like the fogs in the oem spot and I want a set of those for mine. if you order them, let me know how they fit and what there like please

Post by: CraigBest on 24 October 2013, 21:06: How easy is it to wire up fog lights? Quite like the look of the lower vent ones

Post by: Shizzle on 25 October 2013, 08:10: if you have fog lights already very easy but if you don't and you don't have the wiring you will have to diy it all and Evan maybe a new switch or get a switch with fog option and wire into that if you know what your doing fairly easy job.

Post by: thai-wronghorse on 26 October 2013, 18:42: All you need is the correct dash switch and the foglight / lighting loom section that runs across the slam panel. It's a simple plug and play adaption and is very easy to do. I wouldn't even bother with fabricating your own loom for the sake of spending £15 for one that works properly and takes a fraction of the time to install.
