All moot Peter, I'm guessing the GTI was pre-wired anyway*, has our friend actually looked behind where the fog lights would go, or looked at the lighting switch for a white/yellow wire?
*All UK spec. cars had them as standard.

Yes - it could be....
I know some people think fogs should or can be on with (low) beams, but I don't know how different regions or vehicles wire them.
And one day I'll get back to my esteemed comrade on the "fogs with lows" issue... One day. |

Or one relay, 86 to 12v+ and 85 to low beam, stops them coming on with the head light.

| I have checked behind the headlight switch and the foglight switch. There is a thin white/yellow wire from the foglight switch, but none from the headlight switch. |
