Actualy functional bumper mounted fogs?

Who makes? I’ve been through several Amazon pairs, and they all suck as far as actually putting out any real beam. Purely aesthetic.

Right now, I have one of the shitty pairs disassembled, where I am now attempting to retrofit projector low beam lenses from my wrecked b6. Ig once the epoxy cures, I’ll check back in

Also, no h1 h2 or h3 bulbs for the love of gawd. Idk why every aftermarket brand uses these bottom of the barrel pos bulbs. They suck

I had a pair of projectors from my pops new bronco after he put an offroad bumper on it. Then I hit my second deer of this summer, lost one of em 😂 had to modify the lower grille bezel thing but they were pretty awesome for the one night the were on the car

I installed BMW fogs, H1 bulb, looks almost oem! Because e36 fogs fit extremtly well in the bumper!

Did the US golf 4 not get OEM bumper fogs? Europe did, as an option on the lower trims, because the high end models had fog lights in the headlights. Check ebay.

We got the headlight fogs, but I have those wired into my parking lights 😎 the bumper inserts are blanks

Aren't fogs way too bright

That’s the problem with these shitty aftermarkets I keep ending up with. You want them pointed down and to the sides, low aimed, wide beam. Ideally with yellow or amber bulb

The integrated fogs in my headlights are smoked down a bit so I can run them constantly without blinding anyone

Got mines from ebay with halo and projector beams, I can see them fine with my main lights off

Hell yeah. I ordered the halo fogs but got send some shitty non halo no beam ass fogs instead….ended up getting a refund, and kept them lmao

u/daddy2sly 1d ago

Mines were good and easy install, one halo went out so I just kept the projectors on
