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.
