    Hi i would very much appreciate any help with this, I'm a UK citizen with a right hand drive VW Bora from 2003, I am converting this vehicle to EU plates as I live in France most of the year. It currently has right hand drive (RHD) headlights fitted without fog lights.

    I have notice that for the same period OEM lights also came with a fog light inter-grated, is it possible to replace my current original lights for e-mark (European lights) with inter-grated fog lights? If I Does my car have the wiring needed to connect the fog lights, or would i need to purchase a wiring loom?
    I will obviously needs a switch for front fog lights to fit inside car as I only currently have the option for rear fog light.

    Does anyone know a good place to but decent e-mark headlights at a decent price?

    Thanks

    If you want to add fog lights then you need them wired, no wiring will be present.

    To permanently have "european" headlights then the only way is to fit LHD headlamps if you aren't planning on bringing the car back to the UK.

    In the forces, when posted overseas, we have to convert our cars. They are plug and play but can imagine some motors will probably need a VCDS (or equivalent) tweak these days although not aware of any requiring that yet.

    As yours is a 2003 model I highly doubt there will be this issue and they will be plug and play. Try eBay.fr as I assume you're fluent in French and get them sent to your French house or the UK if the seller will oblige.
