[size=12]Your In Luck![/size]

I just installed Smoked fogs/indicators in my Mk3 ... so If ur car has fogs already and ur doing what i did (putting different ones in) then here u go

Use Screwdriver to pop off the blank plate thing

onto the foglight, unscrew two screws and then lever the small metal clip on the right side, with screwdriver. Fog light falls out.

take cover off actual fog unit ... disconnect the power of course.

remember not to touch the lens ...

it all goes back in the same way, but in reverse order.

if u DONT have fogs... then I aint got a clue how to wire em up, sorry.

i did this on my mk3 TDi. Got the lights, blancking plates, and a switch. You then need the wirin loom. Not as bad as it sounds! There is a large connecting plug at the front of the engine bay (top left of the rad as you look at the car) Undo this and remove. This includes the headlights, indercators, and the horn I think. Then replace with a new loom  from a car with fogs, replace the switch et-voila!!!
Took less that an hour!
