LED bulbs for fog/turn replacement.
My 2nd hand 2017 Polo GTI has LED headlights but annoyingly has standard bulbs in the turn/fog lights. They look daft and are not very bright IMHO. My question is are then LED bulbs available for turn/fog lights that just replace the standard bulbs and what would you recommend. Do they just replace ...
