Fog lights Hella or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I also wanted a set of foglights - again, had them in the Sonata but not here. In another stroke of luck, DBVeeDB (check out his build, it's aces) had moved on to projector fogs and sold me his stockers.
Pros: improved visibility
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
My F150. Foglights are now Hella Super Yellows and Headlights are Stage 2 Hella Arctic White.

Order the OEM Fog Lights, Fog Trim Grilles and VW OEM retro fit harness from Paul at Deutsche Auto Parts. Retro fit kit allows you to hook up the OEM without running through the CECM if you don't want to upgrade with computer. You will not be able to have the fogs run as cornering lights unless you replace the CECM however. I did not want the cornering anyway since I run my fogs all the time regardless. I highly suggest getting all OEM parts for the fog retro fit instead of cheaper options. I had to replace the first retro fit fog harness I bought because it crapped out on me in under two weeks. Go OEM parts and do it right and do it once.
Pros: OEM parts, do it right
Cons: harness crapped out

So after I lost both ballast on my 04 v8 I decided to run my drl's through the fog lights, with ballasts and 8k hids.now when the car is running, headlights are off,so far so good,and of course when the sun sets, my headlights come on, quite abit of light from four hids
Pros: quite abit of light

The smoked Mk III fogs are one of the best looking fog lights of the era.
Pros: best looking fog lights
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I find driving with my fog lights on in my Mk3 helps with the light output, especially in the darker roads with less/no street lamps.
Pros: helps with light output
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
when i bought the GLI the fogs came with it, but one was busted. hella wants like 50 bucks for a replacement lens, or 65 for a new full set. guess which i bought the hellas come with the rockshields, which are GREAT.
Pros: rockshields are GREAT
Cons: one was busted

I set out to install HID's in my Hella Micro DE fog lights, which use a H3 bulb. If you've ever installed a \"drop-in HID kit,\" you'll know it's not quite that straightforward because the rear end of HID bulbs is much longer than a standard Halogen bulb.
Cons: Chinese plastic crumbled
Though Mk3 turns/fogs tend to break often and fall out. My ex gf had a Mk3 and we had to replace the lights a few times. Its a pretty crappy design.
Cons: crappy design, break often
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
i put in 100watt bulbs in my brand new hella smoked fogs, melted in 5 hours
Cons: melted in 5 hours
