Currently, the 2003 models are being produced without the fog lights that were an option on the older MKIV model Golf/GTis. There is a lot of speculation as to why this move was made by VW, but there hasn't been a definitive answer. Best we can do is tell you how to wire them up yourself!

Figure 1

As you can see in Figure 1, this is a headlight harness. If you look, you will see where we removed the little rubber plug to attach a factory repair kit wire.

Compare the harness to where it connects to the headlight cluster to see where you need to add the wire. If you look closely on the harness, you'll see a pink ring. This pink ring needs to be slid out to the side before the wire is added.

Figure 2

Basically add a wiring repair kit end, and the lock the pink tab back like in Figure 2..

You'll have to run wires to a factory fog headlight switch or use a commonly sold "euro switch", and add one repair kit end.

Figure 3

We didn't use a relay, but wiring one up would be recommended. The other wire coming out of the factory headlight connector was used to do the rear fog light mod.

Finished!

So this is pretty basic, but shows that you have to add the wiring pieces, but in the end it's worth having fogs on your 03!
