1996 Passat sedan, don't want to buy funny looking aftermarket foglights, want to have stock foglights buy I don't have them stock, where can I buy this?

Buy it at the dealership, buy it at worldimpex, buy it at a junkyard (auto recycler).

Your car has the plug and wiring in the dead spot, it's plug-play. You may have to get a euroswitch to control it though.

I think there is not even a screw holding it in. You just move it towards one side and pry it out. Do a search for car parts .com used, it searches auto recycler for parts near you.

What is a good price for the foglights? Will a jetta or golf foglight work?

 

[jon applespeed]

They are not the same. You can buy one off ebay for like, $30.

The ebay foglights aren't VW brand, they are depot brand, anyone have experience with them?

They are cheap but they will work fine for foglights.

I don't recommend the counterfeit "hella" headlights though because there's a lot more energy going through them and they are not built to the same quality as the german hella headlights.

Don't get the ebay lighting because they are counterfeits made in China and can melt the wiring harness!

PS, i came across some OEM foglamps and they are very expensive new.

Well I have been searching ebay, and all I see are "genuine hella" foglights being sold with generic turn signals and dummy lights being sold out of Hong Kong. In other words, when they put "genuine", I am guessing that they mean fake, lol.
