I bought the bulbs for the reversing lights; thought they'd make a nice flood lit area when reversing in the dark. Not fitted yet.
My dealer asked the question as to why the front fogs had not been LED'd. VW replied is 'halogen is better than white LEDs in the fog' or something to that effect.
Not sure if there is any research to back this up, any way hardly use the front fogs so giving that one a miss.
thanks

But do they pierce the fog better or not? I find that LED lights reflect really badly in fog and consequently always drive in fog with only fog lights on. Much better.The fog lights are totally overwhelmed by the LED dipped beams, they seem almost orange and pathetic.
You can't have the fog lights on without the headlights as the mechanical operation of the switch prevents it.But do they pierce the fog better or not? I find that LED lights reflect really badly in fog and consequently always drive in fog with only fog lights on. Much better.
Oh, OK! My old (2012) Sirocco and my current Yeti (2014) allow fogs without heads.You can't have the fog lights on without the headlights as the mechanical operation of the switch prevents it.

Front fog lights on my 2016 Ocean can be on with side lights only? Often drive with lights like that on 'driech' days up hereOh, OK! My old (2012) Sirocco and my current Yeti (2014) allow fogs without heads.
Might be worth a check. Move light switch to parking lights, then pull the switch towards you one "click" and the front fogs come on and a second "click" towards you to bring the rear fogs on.
Some new bits arrived this week and fitted today...

Hi Loz, they look very good are theyfabric. I assume they are black on the inside (of the Cali) too, and that there is an insulating layer in between the layers. Do you know yet if it avoids condensation over night when camping (in the majority of situationsLatest purchase, a superb screen cozy from Comfortz.

Thanks. Hmmm another item on the list!yes, waterproof fabric with silver on the inside and insulated to stop the condensation.
They are very well made and very easy to fit as they hook over the doors.
Yep they are great. No need for blinds to be closed or front window blinds and a doddle to put on.yes, waterproof fabric with silver on the inside and insulated to stop the condensation.

A pillow?What size does it pack down to?
In it's bag it is small enough to fit into one of the chair pockets in the tailgate.What size does it pack down to?
And your topper can fit nicely into the other chair pocket.In it's bag it is small enough to fit into one of the chair pockets in the tailgate.
