Passat (B7) :: 2013 - Fogs Are Not Coming On?
Feb 21, 2016
I've been toying with the idea of doing the OEM fog light retrofit since I got the car, but had some concerns with the buzzing reported by some TDI owners. Ended up needing to put money elsewhere.
I followed the instruction from another poster, gforce1108, to bypass the BCM and ground the White/Black wire to keep the fogs on with high beams as well as eliminate any buzzing. Going through the install was pretty easy with the exception of getting through the firewall into the engine compartment, but using a wire hanger as a guide I was able to get that done. Got everything connected and turned on the lights but the fogs are not coming on.
I thought it might be a problem with where I had the white/black wire grounded, but moving it to various metal supports under the steering column made no difference. I then decided to just follow the included instructions to tap to the BCM hoping that would at least make them work, but no dice.
I'm at a loss. I've checked that there is power going to F37 on the fuse box where I have the red wire inserted, 15 amp fuse is installed, and rechecked every connector to make sure it was flush. Not sure what could be the issue. I've got the Euro Switch installed as well.
Not sure if it's worth noting, but when I turned it over after the install my dashboard lit up with ECM errors for the traction, tire pressure, and the steering wheel icon. I've seen in that thread mentioned above that other owners had lights come on on initial start after install, but after a trip around the block they went away. Mine are still present after driving for a day and a half.
My brother thinks it might be the relay plug is bad. Bought the kit from Keffer VW like a lot of others on here.

Had my '15 GS F Sport for a month, and thing fogs up really quick and easy. It can be 60 outside and in seconds my windows are fogged. I always have to drive with my defrost on, so today I got a rock chip and seconds later an 8" crack because of it.

I have Xenon HID, adaptive headlights, what ever you want to call them. Normally, I run my headlights in Auto, which means the fogs are off. This morning I needed the fogs so when I turned them on, the right headlight went out, throwing up the fault light.
I ordered a pair of bulbs this morning but on my way home, the lights were functional again in Auto. As a test, I turned on the fogs again and sure enough, the right low beam went out and the fault light lit up.
Is this an early indicator of a bulb going or is related to something else?

My 00 2.8 b5 doesn't have the fogs on the lower grill. How would I go about putting them on. But I don't want the fogs on my headlights to come on with them. I just wan the fogs on the lower grill to be on when I turn the fogs on.

I had the OEM projector fogs installed today, as well as the rear fog and Euroswitch (will post pics soon!). I love the look of the lights off just as much as on - such a great mod! My only concern is that there is some kind of haze (almost like condensation, but not) on the inside of the driver's side housing. It doesn't appear to obstruct the light, but it is clearly visible when the fogs are on. What this might be?

New to the MK6 world and the halogens they have.. I am used to having Xenons... My question is there a way to run DRL's and fogs together?
I know there's a way to wire the city lights and fogs to run together, but I love the way the halogen DRLs look and i would like to run them together with the fogs. I do have a Euro switch.

The air conditioner in my Touareg fogs my windshield right in the middle. How can I stop this from happening?

These replace the fog light assembly totally and they have like 5 leds or something like that..
The fogs are technically useless too me and I think these look hella unique (at least better than hids in a way).

Using separate switch to power the the fogs? I know the stalk method is better but 1100$ seems steep. If so, what kind of switch the looks of is oem?

I know this mod can be done on other models of Toyota, but for 6th gen Camry? And no, I won't leave the high-beams on when oncoming traffic approaches.

Last week I got my 2015 IS250. I was wondering if we can drive with the running lights and the fog lights on at the same time. I try on the parking position and the fogs wouldn't turn on, and on auto it's only for the DRL. How to make this setup work. I saw someone driving like that on some other threat but I couldn't find the conversation so here I am...

I'd like to run my DRL's and Fogs at the same time in auto mode. Currently if you have the headlights set to auto and turn on fogs it enables the regular headlights as well. Id like only the U shaped DRLs and the fogs.

So I get on the Highway, I hit the gas and the rear window fogs up. Let up off the gas and the fog dissipates.
All I can think of is under heavy acceleration the heat from the exhaust is fogging up the rear window.

I did a search and I can't seem to find anything on how to remove the 2 side lower grills for fogs. I wanted to know if the whole bumper need to be removed?

I purchased a set of HIDs for my 2010 SE fogs last week from DDM Tuning and couldn't wait to install them. Since I purchased my low beam set from there, it made a lot of sense to get the matching pair from them too. Anyway, after the install, all was working fine. I did a few test sessions to make sure they would turn off and on the way they were supposed to and they passed.
As I am driving home from a friends house (shortly after the install), I realized that my switch was turn to ON and not AUTO. I turned my switch from ON to AUTO while driving.. After doing so, I noticed that the road in front of my were not as bright as they were before turning the switch. I pulled over and saw that my fog lights were no longer on.. I played with the fog light switch switch, turning them off and on and the only light I would see go on and off, was the one on my dash (the fog lamp indicator).
I have since switched ballasts with my low beams and STILL.. NOTHING. I don't understand what happened and why BOTH fogs have gone out?!? I checked the 10A fuse under the hood that is linked to the front fogs and it's good. I checked the HID bulb and it looks to be burned out, BUT I also plugged my stock halogen H11 bulb into the socket and NOTHING. That puzzles me more..

I recently bought some lamin-x tint for my headlights and fogs. I have only seen a few ppl on here tint their lights, but it was only the the tailights i have seen done on here. So I have an optic blue for the headlights and med gunsmoke for the fogs. Just came in yesterday so I will try to get them on within a week. I will post some pics to show how it looks.

I have the base model GLS, but I put fogs in and hard wired them to the battery. They've been on for about 2 years now, and yesterday I went to turn my switch on under my dash and they didn't work. Fuse is fine, wires are fine, and the bulbs look fine. I'm still thinking its the bulbs though because the other day I put my header back on and I think the bulbs hit floor and kinda bent from the contact, so I'm thinking that might be it.
