Fog Lights

Post by VDUB-Polo »

Anyone any ideas how i can get decent looking fogs? Would it be a case of a bulb change?
Thanks

Would be the case of changing the bulbs. But it really isn't hard at all. All you need to do is take the grilles that surround the fog lamps and there will be 3 torx screws, take them out and then you have the fog lamp out which then you can replace the bulb easily. The bulb size you will be looking for is 9006.

I stuck 12000K HID's in mine:

Yep they will, but they are just like ordinary HID's, you must have a ballast.

Also, 12000K are really for show use, it's not that they are illegal, but they just don't produce enough light output for you to use in the fog, they just look good! :P

Is it easy to take the grills off that surround the fog lights?

Very easy mate, may be a bit nerve wrecking at times as you have to pull it with a bit of force. But heres what you need to do.

The Offside Front foglight grille, has a little screw in it, get a phillips screw driver and take it out. Then get a firm grip on the foglight grilles and just pull and you should release the clips.
