Im thinking of buying some fogs lights but i wanted to know also is it just plug and play?.
After you wire everything it should come on when i turn the headlight switch and pull it outwards ?.

I was wondering which one of these is a better option ?.

Maybe I'm just too cautious, but, many years ago I bought a set of "front fog lights for Japan market" for a 2000 B5 Passat, what I had actually paid for, was a complete set of parts to fit a China made Passat with fog lights - to describe the black plastic trim panels as being made from plastic to have been exaggerating quite a bit, nothing like the quality of black plastic trim panels supplied by VW in Europe. I never ever used these parts as they would have that car look crap due to their quality.

So you are kinda saying i should just buy it from an authorized vw dealer ?.
The only dealer here in iceland are selling 2 fogs with 2 plastic trims and the wiring for around 50.000 thousand kr which is £282. Personally i think that is just a rip off.

Kufatec used to be the place to buy this kit from for the old 2002MY 9N Polo, and for most other retro-fit wiring kits.

BCM reference number? ESP?
Depending on this, also you can get cornering lights.
It also would be possible to transfer your current DRLs from headlights to the fog lamps If you buy the fog lamps with additional lamp.
Example:

The first links you posted here are for daytime running lights only, they are not foglights.

Search on eBay with ref number (ETKA uses when the server is not saturated, at night, for example).
