2016 GTI LED FOG LIGHT BULBS

[flyjakey]

Hi All just wanted to share my experience of fitting LED Foglight bulbs , Did you wonder what that strange looking piece of bent wire was in the boot ? Well its to take of the fog-light surrounds and yes its hard and scary cos you so think they are gonna snap but i did mange to get it off whole after a lot of pulling and one small scratch on the paint , you also need a small torx's driver to remove the 2 screws holding the light in ! The whole job only took about 30 mins and the look is so much nicer ! The bulbs are by Cree and they have a 3 year warranty and are For CanBus so no light on the dash !

Linkl To a short video I made you can see which part you take off on the floor https://youtu.be/8xWapipsLkA

You can also use the funny bent wire to remove the caps on the wheel nuts

Glad you told me that as I was wondering how to get them out ! Cheers

Thanks for this post. The yellow looks really weird compared to the LED's of the headlights

Do they work just as well?

Really nice upgrade Jack! I know what I'm buying on pay day! Thanks for the post. I'll tape up the gloss bits before attacking the surrounds, I did the same on a 6R and know how difficult they are to pull off without thinking you're going to break something.

Is it the same fitment/size for 6R?

Is it the same fitment/size for 6R?

Yes

But the burning question is, are they worth a punt and is there a useable amount of light emitted?

Or is it form over function?

[flyjakey]

without a doubt they make a load of difference to the look UNless you like yellow that is !

A lovely picture . If the Earth's atmosphere was totally clean the Sun would be whiter than fog lights.
hmm... supposedly the aircrafts are going direction to Europe.

Some time ago I did a similar process.

[Timmsy]

They do look a whole lot better but do they actually put out more light?

Maybe a bit early to think about this, but in UK does the MOT check for front foglight function, if so, maybe they would fail the car as I don't think that any aftermarket LED bulbs are approved for use "on the road" - correct me with I'm wrong, I was going to get hold of some Philips Extremes etc to correct the colour.

IIRC the front fog lights are not mandatory... WRC? R models?
