Holy thread revival, Bruce!

Now, if someone would have the VW part # for the fog light ,it would be great.Don't want to pay $200+ at the dealer for one.One of mine has a chip in the middle of the glass and let some moisture in ,fogged the reflector inside.

No kidding! But, since I'm here, its surprising that nobody mentioned the Ford calipers on the rear of the 2001/2002s.

Old thread but an interesting read. I too am interested in the vw foglights.

Gen 1 headlight switches are not the same as the later cars. The Gen 2 switch is the same as a Ford.

I would like to know exactly what VW cars the fog lights were fitted to? I bought some 2nd hand ones from a MK2 Golf, but although they looked the same in the pictures, they turned out to be Bigger than the Vipers Fog lights.

There must be salvage yards full of old VWs where prices should be much cheaper than Viper parts?

Yup, I was told they are off the Thunderbird.

Here is the recent thread from a week or two ago.

To me, it sounds like adapting Gen 3 lights is the cheapest way to go, unless you live in Europe and have the time to go looking through salvage yards.

According to the local VW dealer here, they were on 1982-1990 VW Polo. Discontinued.

When I had my Lambo, the spark plugs from the dealer were $75 each and they were a NGK plug in the box that the NGK part number Autozone Had in stock for $5 bucks a plug.
