no wiring or socket on the car...
need to replace the headlight switch for the euro switch.
run a wire from the good terminal of the switch to the
coresponding one on the module and from the module
to the light (same for front fog but only need a switch
with front fog on it(gli gti passat)).
For the rear fog you also need a bulb holder and tail light
(left) with the fog on it (euro).
After that go to dealership and reprogram the car to
tell him that he have the rear or front fog on it.
Any dealer can do it...

Some European imports are set up for rear fogs, with everything
except a lightbulb in the socket and a switch on the dash. My old
US-model '94 Saab actually had a working rear fog light. I'm told
that some current Audis have working rear fogs.

How are current US model VWs set up? Did older models have the wiring
and lamp sockets?

American cars don,t have rear fog lights. As drivers here are to lazy and to
actually drive. Or worry about what's behind them.

My '88 Rabbit Cabriolet Convertible has back-up lights, but no provision for
rear fog lights. What purpose could rear fog lights serve? Just wondering.

Last time I looked, VWs weren't "American cars".

People coming up behind you in bad weather can see you farther away and
avoid running in to you.

VWs sold in Europe (and maybe elsewhere) have them; I'm just wondering
if the lamp socket and wiring is present in US VWs. Even if it's there,
the headlight switch would still have to be replaced to make them work.

That makes sense, especially on the high speed German autobahn. I've seen
some pretty dense fog in the German mountains, as well as in the Smokies and
elsewhere in the USA. In those situations the regular tail lights are often
barely visible (or not visible at all) until you are almost upon the car in
front of you.

I thought of it as I was driving to Richmond on I-64 two weeks ago
through a rather astonishing rain storm. Some American cars have
->really feeble tail lights.

some do...they are permitted (just not required). the 2nd generation
oldsmobile aurora (not even sure that was exported to europe) had them
standard even on domestic market models.

that part is very true. and they wouldn't even know what a rear fog is or
when to use/not use one.

Just a question since you brought up fog lights.
Which way are fog lamps to be pointed?
Up, down, straight ahead? Left on left, right on right or vice versa?
Am referring to forward pointed fog lamps.
Nevermind that rear faced type. Heck. What's the skinny on pointing rear
face fog lamps?

Make/model/age of vehicle should not matter.
