Wiring for fogs is already installed in ALL 6n2 polos. Its just part of the standard loom. All you need is the fogs, grilles and the headlight switch with front fog option.

How hard is this to fit? Approximately how long would it take?

Thanks

30 mins max. Basically all you have to do is remove the current grilles, put in the screw holders, plug the fog lights in the the wiring loom, screw them on, put the grilles back on, change the headllight switch to the front fog one and voila your done.

A quick and simple mod for under £100 all in (well it should be, but if you choose to get all the GTI grilles aswell, itll be closer to £150)

Hope this helps rich!

hey sorry i havent checked back here for a day or two.

the fogs came to £89 ish with bulbs, switch and left and right gti fog grills.

takes 15mins to fit. unscrew the front grills pull the cable the cable out attach the fogs, screw in ( bare in mind that the fitting screws dont come with it so you will have to get them from a vw garrage costs around £3 for the set)

Once both plugged in put the grills back on go inside the car and push the light switch inwards and twist it to side lights, this will enable you to pull it straight out, disconnect the wire get your new switch plug it in and you are all set.

took me no time at all, was nice to do fit something that didnt go wrong for a change :D

If you need any more info on the seller or any thing then just PM me.

Cheers.

Sounds easy enough, might do this next month when i have some more cash.

Did you have to pay with paypal on ebay or bank transfer, as im sure bank transfer costs more?

Thanks
