so i lost a foglight lens on the highway....
does anyone have a passenger side oem (mk3 jettA) foglight housing / lens / whole thing kicking around somewhere....?
maybe someone has an extra passenger one from a wreck or...
Thanks
Paul
For some reason...I have a set of lenses in my barn, ill dig them out today.
Hey, me too, I'm missing the passenger side... VOHAUL, which one are you looking for?
I bought a pair of Chinese repro fogs on Ebay... they're worse than worthless, they produced them mirror-image somehow, the mount tabs are upside-down, and the lenses correspond to the turn signals instead of the fog lights.
Nice looking set, but only work on Bizzarro-Jettas.
Here's a question; has anyone succesfully removed the foglights? Both sides of mine the nut insert backed out before the bolt was out, and I can't get them locked down enough to remove the bolt. Weak.

The lenses
I took the fogs apart since they where Junk, and I'm in Bathurst NB, and I don't mind shipping, I haven't been to the barn today because of the Rain we are getting here. I need a boat :p

im missing the passenger side lens.....the old glue dried up i guess and i think my block heater plug hit it or something and knocked it loose somewhere.....(the drivers side one i resiliconed when i put them in.....)
My foglights are the actual OEM VW ones...(Hella i think)...my car was orginally a non foglight car..so i got a set off vortex and put them in...(already had a euro switch installed so its all factory look)
ive put mine in and taken them out once or twice.....i dont remember having any major issues....other than being a bit of a PITA
Cheers

Dunno, the ad was simply MkIII foglight set. Minor mods I can deal with, but these seem to be made for a completely different car. Probably for the China-produced VWs they make there. Same shape, look perfect, but when you try to mount them, everything is in the wrong place... and the lenses are reversed. They also came with a 1-piece reflector/turn signal cover plate, with no provision for a turn signal at all. Just plain weird. Can't return them, I let 'em sit for a month before I even tried to put them in.
Here's the set. Take a look at the mount tabs, then go look at yours. It seems to me they made these to go in the turn signal slot, maybe?

well, the car is out in the garage......but by that picture..they look like mine.....in the pic however the one on the left is the drivers side and the one on the right is the passenger one....but you probably knew that already:)
edit...yup..those look exactly like the euro version ones...see here..except these ones are smoked...they omunt where the turn signals are on the Euro bumper......
