What do I need to wire both rear fogs together, do I need bulb plus holder or just the wire.

Do you have LED or normal tail lights?

For the LED lights the bulbs and wiring is in place - just need to recode using VCDS and cable. Details here:

A list of VCDS owners is here:

Not too sure about normal tail lights but I'm sure someone will reply soon.

Both mine work, LED lights, enabled with a VCDS

Don't wire them together!

Normal tail lights, why shouldn't I wire them together?

Because the BCM is expecting to see 1 21w bulb on that channel. When it sees 2 of them one of 2 things will happen, it will throw a bulb warning light and shut the channel down to protect it, or you will damage your BCM.

If you want to go ahead and invalidate your warranty with a bodge job by all means wire them together.

The correct solution is to do the coding for the second fog light channel.

Havent got access to vcds so was hoping to wire them together, not found anybody near to me with vcds.thanks for letting me know about damage I could of caused, notsure why you think Iit would be a bodge job though

Can both normal fog lights be set by VCDS Andy ?

Yep - was the second thing I worked out after the cornering fogs for the vRS

There are plenty of people on the M62 corridor with VCDS - have a look at the VCDS owners map
