Front Bora Fogs finally fitted (",)

I've been working on an alloy bracket that will screw to the metal rebar underneath the bumper.

Its virtually just a bit of right angle 3mm plate - about 45-50 mm up to the rebar and about 60mm back over the light, with 95mm width. Then you just need two 3mm thick washers between the bottom of the plate and the foglight screw mounting holes (this is so the curve in the middle of the foglight clears the underside of the plate.

That is the basic dimensions and you just need to chop little bits out here and there off the edges of the plate to clear the outer grill clips and the horn mounting bolt flange...only 5 to 10 mm

Just getting the final measurements and alignment right but looks like it will work well and be very solid. The end of the rebar is dead flat above where the foglight will sit, so the alloy bracket sits perfectly flush behind it - just need to cut out about 10mm off one end slightly to clear where the rebar metal doubles over.

The fogs will stay in position when you take off the bumper too.

This was my preferred method to mount as we also have a plastic duct on the drivers side going to the extra radiator (like the US one) and the foglight is actually too wide to just slip into it, if it was mounted to the bumper.

I'm going to have to cut a slot or something at the bottom of it for the foglight plug in any case.

In regards to the horns, I have found out that the Bora R has specific horns just for it, but they use the same horn brackets as we have.:shot:

I actually found a picture of a crashed Bora R on a Chinese website and you can see the horns in the picture and it looks like they just have different plugs on them. They might be a bit smaller too to clear the light.

There are some different brackets listed for the TDI Golfs which I am investigating.

....or one could just persuade the brackets a bit....but I like OEM:stupido2:

Those lights look HOT!!!

Ok, can the different horns be purchased? :aetsch:

He's a photo of the connectors on my fogs, note they look the same apart from the locking tab is on different sides so can be made to work with the same connector, just that I want to do things right.



Also, inside the cover the +ve/gnd connections are different depending on which light you are looking at.

Thats the weirdest thing I've ever seen!!!!!

Comparing your housings to mine, the left one in the pic is the same. (the back hatch of the light has 6H0 941 608A cast into it)

On the right my plug socket is cast onto the housing the other way up with the flat at the top and the tab on the outside! (the back hatch on this light has part number 6H0 941 607A cast on it). i.e. the plug casting is flipped around 180 degrees as you look at it!

Therefore the same plug fits on both of mine as I advised before.

On my main housing parts (the part with the fog lens) printed on the top I have these numbers:

Left in your photo: 6H0 941 700A
Right in your photo 6H0 941 699A

Other than that right side plug everything else looks the same - clips in same place etc.

Looks like you can order the rear cap separately as a spare part.

Again, the rear cap I have which is different to yours is 6H0 941 607 A (going on the foglight in the right side of your picture - which is actually the left front foglight)

The horns are only listed on the China market ETKA, but you may be able to order them from VW...or try some of those Hong Kong ebayers that sell genuine parts...they have been able to supply me with weird stuff like this before, because they can order it locally.

The Bora R horns also have different plug connectors as well.

I found a picture of a wrecked Bora R once on some Chinese site and the horns look identical otherwise - maybe on a Bora there is enough clearance from the foglights because the bumper possibly juts out more (like the nose of the Bora is longer than the Golf if you know what I mean,i.e. the front grill is further away from the horn bracket when its mounted)

I probably wouldn't worry about chasing them up...they might just have a different tone or something...who knows.
