The OEM fog lights on the GTI 6C are quite cream don't match the headlights particularly well..
Has anyone replaced these with whiter-looking ones? Could you advise what sort I need or some fitting instructions?
thanks

Re: Whiter fog lights - GTI 6C
Yes i have replaced the fog light bulbs to led canbus ones& they match the brightness of the headlights better, but it brought a error warning on the dash which was the usual phanton error as the fog lights were fine , the error kept coming on but i found a setting on the obdeleven tool that corrects that for when you change from halogen to leds .i dont get that error warning now .

I’ve changed mine for the same reason and found no errors occurred with these bought from eBay

That was the YT vid that showed me how to get to that pesky fog light unit
I notice on the link with the led fog lights you brought have a cabled adapter?
The ones i brought look like the original halogen ones but with leds

Re: Whiter fog lights - GTI 6C
I Went for those because they have a heat sink and fan to remove heat from the unit and are quite compact , the actual ones I got are slightly different , the ones linked are similar but only 6000K mine were 6500K ,the ones you pictured have NO way of removing heat build up.
