newbie with questions
« on: 13 November 2011, 15:37 »
hey eveyone i just got my first golf. its a 1994 mk3 gti 3 door with a 2.0 8v engine.
anyway my question is should it have front fog lamps?
as ive got a switch in the dashboard which lights up green when pulled but i get no light. assumed the bulbs where gone but on closer inspection there are no fog lamps just blacking covers that look like lights, i removed these and there wasn't even any loom or plugs? seems a bit strange! :huh:

Does the switch pull out once or twice? If it only pulls out once then it's for your rear fog light :wink:

Fog Lights were an option, if you want to add them you'll need the loom, lights and a different switch :wink:

Sounds like it may have had front fogs at some point ,have another search for the loom it must be hiding somewhere.  :smiley:
