Title: Projector style front fog light
Post by: V2 FAN on May 06, 2014, 07:59:36 pm
Hi All

Are the projector style fog lights found on earlier Mk5's a direct fit for later non projector style fog lights?

I know the lamp is different and I have a loom coming from the states but some of the versions I have seen appear to have different mounting points  :rolleye:

The insides are also black, is there a variant with the silver inners available?

Just trying to compliment the Xenons  :happy2: and I think these will finish them off nicely

I've recently fitted a set. They were on earlier mk5's but gti are a different fitment to the other models as the fittings are longer

As above - a lot I see for sale are for non-gti models. The mounting points are different, and the angle of the front cover is different.

It's a pain as I'm after a set of new projectors for the gti, and all I can find are ones for other models. I don't really want to go to VW to pay huuuuge prices, but I'd like OEM!

Hi Dave,

I'm in the same position searching for ages but getting no joy. I'm a bit of a purist so I can see myself going down the OEM route  :sick: if I find anything in the meantime I'll give you a shout  :happy2:

Got these options.

Are any of them close to OEM?

The projector fogs where standard fit on uk Tourans and same fitting has golf. Buy the plugs and change them over? Cheaper than paying for a full loom and swapping it all out.
