2.5L Fog Light Kit

Ready to race!
Hey Im wondering wheres the best place to buy the fog light kit for my mk6 golf. It would be nice to find the OEM fogs for cheap!

I know esctuning has the full kit I'm looking for something similar to this:

I need to buy a new switch as well, I've seen some on ebay but I'm not sure if it includes everything i need like the trigger wire.. Here's the one I've been looking at:

If anyone has some information that can save me some $, please let me know!

yea maybe but you can get the grill and light housings for 100 bucks on ebay and than buy the other stuff from ecs for about another 150 maybe alittle more
and you would have everything including the switch

idk 325 seems abit to steep for them to sell the same stuff plus a few zip ties from what the picture seems to show

Lol yeah I get what your saying. I think I'm going to try to get everything (light housings, grills, and switch) on ebay, though it seems like there is nowhere else to get the wiring harness besides ecs? I agree the ecs kit is too expensive but besides the zip ties, where can i get the relay for the harness, the securing hardware, and the other misc hardware that is shown in the esc kit?!?! Also, will i need to buy a trigger wire for the switch?

Can someone please please please clarify exactly what I'm going to need to install fog lights on my base model 2.5L??
I would prefer to have the fogs work just like the esctuning fog kit does, the relay method, (No vagcom or coding).


Here is everything i think I'm going to need. Let me know if I'm missing anything:

Grilles and fog housings (supposedly includes the bulbs too?)

the switch

or

the wiring harness (not sure if the ebay one is good or not)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VW-GOLF-JET...lf&hash=item2c631ed02b&vxp=mtr#ht_3870wt_1413

The esc kit comes with some other little parts that i can't find anywhere.. Im not talking about the screws and zip ties, if you look closely at the picture of kit you'll see what I'm talking about.. Im thinking my best option for the random hardware would be to either try to buy it from the vw dealer or see if esc will sell it to me..?

Is the right way to go for my new car?? Or should i be waiting for the esctuning kit to come back in stock?

TDIClub.com - Lower Grille, Fog Grille, and Fog Assembly Replacement

To remove the front grill where the fog lights go, just pull forward. You'll notice they have small holes on the underside of the "fake" slits to grab onto. Be careful, especially with the small little fin part because there is a clip there and that part is some times easy to bend and mess up. Once off, install is a breeze (if it is a full install with the harness, "hardest part" is running the trigger wire through the firewall to the switch). To change bulbs, same way: remove grill, unscrew torx, remove housing, replace bulb, re-assemble. :thumbsup:
