    And here is the result - No faults and instant on/off with the cornering function.

    Looks good - does it give the same power/lumens as the halogen bulb it replaced?

    So far so good. To be honest, I only wanted to get rid of the horrible yellow appearance, but they appear every bit as bright as the halogens they replaced. Took less than 10 mins to change them both.

    Excellent job Technik and thanks for the images. I will change mine as soon as I can get the LEDs you recommended. The site states that the Lumens increase is from 300-400 for the standard bulb up to 750 for the LED.

    Hello mate thanks for the pictures, just ordered some led bulbs like the ones you have, but i am struggling to get the black plastic surround off. (don't want to break it) went to VW today and they said oh the clips break easily, and they take the front bumper off and wanted to charge £110 to take bumper off and fit two bulbs!!!
    Please could you tell me where to prise the bit off. Thanks for your time Ben.

    Wow! Can't see how removing the bumper gets access to the fog light housing - you still have to pull this cover off? My dealership told me to just pull it off. They even gave me the printed off workshop manual pages that said just pull it. When I went back and showed them the right way it was quite funny. Their manual hasn't got any reference to the screw.

    So if you look at pic 2, it is a side view of the cover taken under the silver strip that runs horizontally across the centre grill. That's where the screw hole is located. Undo that screw before you try to remove the cover.
    The hole in the front of the cover is what you use to pull the cover forwards - there's a hook tool in your toolkit, put that in and give it a pull (only after removing the screw on the side).
    As soon as it starts to come forward I'd start prising it with your fingers gently. If it breaks, the covers aren't that expensive. It would be cheaper to just break them both and order replacements than pay £110.

    The pics are just for the LED headlight version, but should be the same for standard. PM me if you need more help.
