I think early golfs used hb4 in fish eye type fogs and its h11 in the reflector type ...I retro fitted mine and ended up with hb4 ends so had to by a conversion kit from bold-sport.com

I have a set of standard fogs which I could let you have for a few quid. They fit the standard bumper, not gt/Gti

Well the loom I had made was for hb4 but I fitted later reflector type lights and they were h11 ...if you ring vw and ask what bulb should be fitted to your car with optional fogs fitted they will tell you what should be in as standard then you can order loom to suit
