to fit fogs into big bumpers you need the loom we do a new one he connection is just behiind the washer bottle this works on the first click of the fog light. you need the big bumper mounting brackets also as well as the fogs

going to start doing a complete kit loom, fogs and brackets for £49.99 plus postage on ebay can also be fitted to none gti models as the loom connector is on all Mk2 golfs

I've just fitted mine from the same seller and I'm not pleased with the quality. I guess they match the [very] cheap price so I can't complain. I would describe them as "okay", they look fine but the electrical connectors are very weak and tinny (on mine anyway).

Beware these are very badly made fog lights, water leaks inside the lense and also the back bulb holder is not very strong as it can crack very easily, i learnt the hard way, its best to buy some second hand ones from ebay that pair of cheap fake lights. Plus the lights show very yellow and nowhere near as good as Hella ones.

Hope this helps
