I am sure fog lights are the dealer accessories price list as something they ca retrofit but don't know of anyone that has had them fitted TBH.  :smiley:

....Which "special edition" is that? All the GTI and Edition 30 and Pirelli Mk5 Golfs have fogs.

I replaced mine for LED DRL's.

I have a friend of the family with a 55 plate 2.0Tdi 4-Motion who would like to retro fit fog-lights into the front bumper. He's been quoted £300 to get this done at Volkswagen.

Can I do it for him cheaper? If so, what do I need exactly besides the fogs & grilles?

I have done it for this guy

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,35163.0.html

he bought the loom, lights and I fitted them

depending on what CECM you have, you may need to replace that too.

a new light switch and a wire needs to be fitted

Was it a 1.9TDi SE? But surely any speical edition would come with a better cluster than just mileage? :fighting2:
