BIG BUMPER FOG LIGHT FITTING?

[JMallows]

Cheers everyone, i'm going to have a quick look later on sometime, see if i can make any sense of it... I'm still wainting for pictures from the seller anyway, so not going to have them for a while!!

how do you wire the fogs into the full beams??

Please don't wire your fogs to the high beams, not only is it almost definitely illegal but is completly pointless when you can easily run the wire a bit further to the stock fog loom plug hanging under the fusebox

Wouldnt have thought it was illegal, as they are only driving lights.... Wouldnt be pointless as i dont have the sopt lights in my grille, so may inmprove light a bit!

Easy, connect the live from the bulb on the fog, to the live on the main headlight, and disconnect the existing loom for the fogs... :S Make sense? :S

Won't improve your light a lot! My front fogs are soooo dull, maybe its my bulbs or something? 

I think driving lights are allowed provided there is a switch to turn them off. My mate has a landrover with massive racks of spots on it, the MOT men weren't happy with so he fitted a switch so he can choose whether to have them on with full beam or not.

Hmmm, thats worth thinking about i suppose!!

[rubjonny]

But whats the point in doing all that when you can just run 2 wires to the plug under the header tank, and not only have it perfectly legal but also as VW intended

[JMallows]

I really cant see the problem with having the fogs as driving lights, instead of the spots?! :S  If i wired the fogs into the fog light loom, they'd never get used, its never foggy!!

You do realise the fog light switch has 2 clicks, 1st turns on the fronts only, and the second turns on the back one as well?

[JMallows]

Yeah, but i only want the lights to come on with high beam though, theres no point driving around with fog lights on unless its foggy...
