this is something im very interested in, i had read a guide over at rabbitownersclub.com, which required some extensive wiring work, so i was just going to pop the fogs in for the looks and wire them in the future but having a switch near the esp switch is intriguing have you got any pics as to where youve seen this?

I will dig out a picture i have somewhere..

But its fairly sinple.. they just run a line from the battery from the switch to the lights. Im just thinking of putting it in one the blank button spaces nearest the drivers seat.

yeah makes sense for you to do that, i rang my local vw dealers to see how much they'd quote, said £60 each for the lamps (not incl grilles) and £88 per hour for labour!

how much is your guy charging you if you dont mind me asking

WHA!!! My VW said that it couldnt be done by them.. as they could relay it back into the headlamp switch even with a new one ( i smell something fishy there though) im actually sure that they can. `but anyway,  my auto electric place charges £45 an hour.. and the lamps and grills are off ebay.. rough prices though but seem thjem as low as £15.. but i poted for xenon style ones.. so cost me £25
