Never seen wiring run around the firewall like that. Interesting idea. I assume there is a grommet somewhere on the firewall we could run a wire through?? I have my fogs setup (obd11) at 50% dimmed as DRL's but these do look better. I think there's some issue using LEDS in the fogs for DRL's only certain dimming levels will work.
Hi there Dave brilliant video I've got to say I've just got 1 question, I have a 2009 golf mk6 tdi but stock they come without fog light, is it still possible to get them fitted and working?
You can fit these to golfs that don't have factory fogs yes.....2 option just run the drls halo section wired to fuse 4 ignition live....or option 2, you can install an aftermarket foglight harness then you can run the fogs and drls halo. The cheaper option is just install the halos...then you only require grilles and the lights. If you want fogs then you will need harness, grills, new switch with fog function. th-cam.com/video/KQM04bvPNrI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_ADNYI3se4H83QSc
Hi pal just a quick question. It says plug+play on the description on the website, but i know you did all the wiring etc? Is that just cos you were wanting them to operate different than would normally happen with them?
The fog light section in centre are plug and play, plug straight into original fog light plug. The led ring round out side need connecting to a ground and a 12v, the 12v I chose was glove box as I want the light to come on when unlocking the car, alternatively I could have wired to an ignition live fuse (fuse 4) and they would have come in with ignition
No resistors used, indicators are wired to pin 9 on back of light. Power and ground are wired my glovebox light. You can run power from top row in fuse box also. The leds need 12v to run correctly, won't work if you wire to lights as the voltage fluctuates due to canbus
Hi Dave , angel rings will work all the time after u unlock the car ? After u start your ignition they will still work untill u stop the car and lock it ?
Hey man, love the lights and installed it on my golf after seeing this. Only issue is that I'm having bad battery drain issues since then. Do you know what could cause this?
@whatsdavedone104 to the glove box like you have as getting to the firewall is a pain😅. Other electronics I have previously added are a android head unit, wireless charging pad, charging USB's and various LED's, the only one I know to have power without the ignition being live is the head unit.
@bobmarley8000 your headunit will be the issue....remove the headunit and look at the harness, you should see a small black connector plug with orange and red wires running through it....disconnect the plug and the unit will turn on and off with ignition. The connector isn't needed when running a canbus box on the unit
@@whatsdavedone104 mine is a 2010 caddy think it's a touran 2003 to 2010 front bumper I've got, already got fog lights installed just wanted to know if these fog lights will fit thanks
Why can't you wire them into the auto switch? I fitted an auto switch to my 09 mk6 and the lights come on when unlocking and for about 5s after locking. My car doesn't have fogs as standard.
You can try going to auto switch, I haven't gone to auto switch for 2 reasons, 1 I have led drl lights and if I leave in auto position when starting the engine I get bulb error on dash and 2 auto lights won't come on if it's light, they only come on in the dark.
I've been having a few bugs with my computer flashing up a bulb error and then the error disappears again.. but the only change I've mad to the car was the auto switch itself
Sounds like one of your bulbs it's on its way out. A scan with a code reader will tell you which bulb is at fault, my guess will be a number plate bulb 🤷 carista is a good scan tool and tells you which bulbs are at fault
Anyway good job :)

Yes I could have gone through the fire wall but that involves removing the battery and lifting the carpet. This way is quicker and simpler 😝

For that led drl strip, did you use some canbus adapter or some resistor, and where did you wire them up, on headlight plug or inside of headlight ?
No resistors used, indicators are wired to pin 9 on back of light. Power and ground are wired my glovebox light. You can run power from top row in fuse box also. The leds need 12v to run correctly, won't work if you wire to lights as the voltage fluctuates due to canbus
Here is a video of me installing led strips on my other mk6 th-cam.com/video/fiLAmSdrT0c/w-d-xo.html
Hi, Dave could possibly the halos be wired so that you may turn them off whenever you want? My Golf 6 2011 came with a factory-installed euro switch.
You could add an aftermarket switch in to the wiring or wire direct to your drl wiring.
Hi Dave , angel rings will work all the time after u unlock the car ?

Yes, kine come on when car is unlocked and remain on until car is locked 👍
@@whatsdavedone104 thank you , that's what I'm looking to do for mine ,i want them all the time on even when driving thanks
Mine worked for 6 months but then the halo ring started to flicker and dim at sometimes, just disconnected the halo ring for niw
Hey man, love the lights and installed it on my golf after seeing this. Only issue is that I'm having bad battery drain issues since then. Do you know what could cause this?
How have you wired the DRLs, are they turning off. If the lights are turning off then they are not the source of the battery drain.

@whatsdavedone104 Thank you so much! I'll check this out and hopefully it'll solve a lot of future headache
Hi pal will these fog lights fit on a vw caddy but with a touran front bumper
Yes, if the bumper is pre 2015. 2015 they did a face-lift and changed the fog lights
@@whatsdavedone104 mine is a 2010 caddy think it's a touran 2003 to 2010 front bumper I've got, already got fog lights installed just wanted to know if these fog lights will fit thanks
Yes they are a straight swap 👍

Does your display tell you which bulb is the issue or do you have low line clocks that display very little information?
Nope just the little orange bulb icon appears from time to time and after a few starts the error gets cleared
Sounds like one of your bulbs it's on its way out. A scan with a code reader will tell you which bulb is at fault, my guess will be a number plate bulb 🤷 carista is a good scan tool and tells you which bulbs are at fault
1 question does this fit the mk5? i wanna know for sure before i buy them
I don't know, I am 95% sure the mk5 and 6 share the same fog lights
@@whatsdavedone104 Thanks for the reply i'll search for more info on forums a lil bit later.Thanks
Just looked on ebay and yes the mk5 and 6 share the same fog lights
@@whatsdavedone104 thank you. Have a nice day 😁
Illegal
No there not....what makes you think they are illegal?
