This is a full walkthrough on my fog light install on my MK6 Jetta SportWagen. By only having to splice ONE wire you can save $275-ish dollars and you only have to buy this kit here ($60.01)

and this Euroswitch. ($13.94)

This will be the same install for any MK6 Golf or Jetta.
Hope you enjoy and leave a comment if you need any help or have any questions! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Awesome installation video, your close-up camera detail & accompanying narrative was excellent! Great job! Thanks
Genius level! Thank you for a detailed and comprehensive video, super appreciate you taking the time to show the entire install process 😀
You're very welcome!
Wow. That engine bay is so clean - looks brand new!
Thank you! I try to take care of what I have 👍🏻
VAG PN for the trigger wire terminal in position 5 of the light switch connector is 00979009E. I did this today on our '11 GOV/JSW. In order to insert the terminal in position 5, you need to release the terminal lock on that side of the connector with a small pick tool. With the lock released, the terminal slides into position easily. I also found the clips on the after-market fascia pieces supplied by this vendor to be either too wide or too thick to use as-is. Even after a bit of filing to get the fascia pieces to snap on, the lower parts don't align properly with the lower grill. Oh well, something to work on in the spring.
May be a quality control item regarding the clips and aligning with the lower grill. I didn’t have the same issues, minus it taking quite a bit of force to pop them in. Appreciate you leaving the VAG PN! 👍🏻
Thanks for the video man!
No problem! Hope it helped! 👍🏻
Great video 💪🏼
good job great video I know filming is a pain, but well done
Thanks for the kind words!
Thanks for the wiring help. My son bought a similar kit for his car and it has a cheap switch with 3 wires. I wondered what the other 2 were for. Now I now it's just to light up the switch when the fog lights are on and the other wire is just the trigger wire to turn on the relay. Thanks again!
No problem! Glad it helped you!
thx for the orientation,is ironic,im just have this spider kit with the european light sw,same like u have,but whats the part number for the pin#5 in the connector?
Does the fog light indicator also come on on the dash when you turn them on
Did you just shove the bare wire into the slot for the trigger or did you have one of the pins added onto the wire
Bonjour moi je suis de france et j'ai installé un parechoc style 6R sur ma golf 6 et j'ailerai savoir ci l'installation c'est à peut près pareil pour que je puisse installer mes feux de jour ?
Great job explaining this install!
My state (Virginia) requires the fogs to go out when using high beams. Is there additional wiring required to get this to happen?
Thank you! My state requires it as well but, I just do my best to stay aware of my surroundings. In order to get them to turn on with high beams, you just need a 5 pin relay. When the high beams power the relay, it opens the circuit thus cutting power to the fogs.
There’s a pretty good explanation on this forum. forums.tdiclub.com/index.php?threads/how-to-have-fog-lights-turn-off-when-high-beams-are-on.446296/
Thanks for the detailed instructions! Made this install a breeze. One thing though, my fog lights are draining power even when not turned on, meaning I come back to a dead battery. My vw tech friend says the channel I chose is constantly supplying power, but I’m not too good at these things. I’m thinking I might’ve done something different than you, as my fog lights will only come on when the engine is running. If there’s anything I can do to keep the fog lights from draining power your help would be awesome. Thanks again, great video.
Gage I’m gonna dig into this in the next week or so (while doing a frost heater install). I had a drain as well but presumed it was due to a bad ground (didn’t fully tighten the ground bolt.)
It could be an issue with the relay itself.
Did you ever figure out this issue?
Bumping this. Did you ever find out a solution for the drain?
So, about a year ago I hooked my system back up and haven’t seen a draw issue since. For me, it appeared to be related to a main ground loose. That being said, the fact that a few others are seeing this issue gives me a bit of concern, as that could mean where’s there’s smoke there’s fire. My issue hasn’t come back, but I would recommend you double check the main ground under the intake piping.
If it is causing a draw, it’s likely the relay. Good news is that relays are relatively cheap and super simple to replace.
Hey man, great video, but how exactly did you connect the white wire to pin 5? Was there an un-crimped, empty pin in that slot? It didn't look like there was...
Hey Pete, I had some pins on hand but none that fit in that small of a slot. I just wound a bare 1/8” of the wire tight, slid it in and used a zip tie to secure it. No issues months later 👍🏻
Quick question! I already have a euro switch installed and all the wiring neccessary from the manufacuture. I would need this because my fog lights broke. Would this just be pulg and play?
Hey Jesse! As far as the fog light bezels and housing go, they should fit right in like a factory system. In regards to whether or not it will be plug and play, I think it’s VERY likely. Both factory and aftermarket use the same bulb, and therefor I imagine they use the same type of connecter, which means you should be able to just plug them in.
Do the fogs turn off when the high beams are switched on? Or are they on all the time high and low beams? I bought the Spyder kit, but if they're on all the time, I'm not gonna bother with the euro switch, I'll just trigger them off the low beam!
The euro switch just pulls out to trigger the fog lights. I believe if you have tuning software you can lock it out from high beams.
The white wire that was short and went into position 5 to go into Euro switch, where does the other end get connected to? Thanks
If I recall that’s the trigger switch for the relay that powers the fogs.
Would it be possible rewire the switch into the center console where there is those little buttons above the shifter instead of adding a euro switch? Also, would it burn those fog lights if you put LEDs in?
I would imagine so! Really you can place a trigger switch anywhere. LED’s shouldn’t damage that housing.
Did you end up wiring into the center console? Would love to know how it went as I’d like to do the same.
my car doens't have fog lights put pin 5 is already used i only got an empty space on pin 7 can you help me?
You just want to find a pin location that gets power when you pull the switch out for the fog lights. Get a multimeter and try out the pin 7 slot
what year is your tdi? i want to make sure the switch you listed fits mine.. I have a 2014.
2012. I noticed the switches had a pretty random fitment for “years”
Are the lights LED? Bright at night?
These are regular halogens, (not a big deal to me right now since the OEM bulbs are halogen as well). As far as brightness, I was happy with the amount, and spread, of the output. Definitely are doing their job! 👍🏻
do you know why the ecs harness has a wire that connects to the negative line of the battery but this harness doesn't?
I’m not sure, could be an extra ground for the module?
@@theoegarage not sure, I’m not too savvy when it comes to electrical stuff haha. I haven’t seen any other tutorials require anything be connected to the negative terminal on the battery and just thought it was strange.
Apakah ini adalah new golf 1.6 mk5 2006,.?
This was done on a 2011 2.0 TDI SportWagen. I think the previous generation is a very similar process.
Oh boy!... you skipped the part I was waiting... basically what kind of wire conector you were using for the pin 5.
Any typical spare square pin will work, or pushing the lead in and securing the wire in a way that it will prevent movement.
@@theoegarage Thank you man for the response. I just order few, let you know how it goes :)
where did u buy euro switch?
Got it linked on the video description, but for good measure 👇

:( it's mark 6 not em kay 6
Mark;
The word mark, followed by number, is a method of designating a version of a product. It is often abbreviated as Mk or M. This use of the word possibly originates from the use of physical marks made to measure height or progress. Furthermore, by metonymy the word mark is used to note a defined level of development or a model number.

Lol u actually think people are gonna risk their insurance on this long ting lol nah bruv 👎🏽
