This has popped up before, but there's not much info on it.

Can anyone tell me what parts, apart from the the lights, are needed to retro fit OEM fogs? I'm hoping the majority of the wiring is already in and that I'll just need a relay and dash switch, can anyone shed any light?

Cheers guys.

non of wiring is in place and the facelift fogs wont fit early bumpers
kufatec.com do a retro fit harness and facelift bumpers can be made to fit

Good find with that harness. I had sneaky look beneath the blank on dash at lunch time and there wasn't a thing there. Found some non OEM lights that are made for the B5 though.

have you bought some of those ebay fogs?
if so let us know what there like, one problem is if youve got a tdi or 1.8t theres no gaps for air to get to intercooler(s) so youd need to chop them

That's a good point. I've not ordered any yet, I was going to wait until afte christmas. One solution might be to run a discreet duct from the central grille, maybe.
