Replaced headlight lenses today

with some glass one, I can't wait for it to get dark....

I was doing a search for the best replacement 9007s

2003 Jetta TDI wagon

and still have not decided but looking at the Phillips X-Treme vision, other suggestions/comments are welcome.

Anyway, I came across a fog light thread and was wondering about suggestions from you folks about a nice set of aftermarket fog lights that do not require a degree in electrical engineering to install. I saw a couple that are premounted into the small grills below the bumper that look nice. The wiring is what concerns me. I can do some simple stuff but when it gets to complicated ...

Links to threads / videos are great

Thanks all

Highly recommend this for protecting the glass

A little pricey, but will help prevent chips, cracks and damage to the glass. It's not bullet proof, but well worth it imo and easy to apply on the mkiv lights.

yea, I was debating if I should do that or not, didn't.

Do I have to take the bumper off again to put it on ? Will it yellow? Decrease available light?

Thanks ML

I have a clear plastic film protector on my Hella e-codes. It's been on there for well over 10 years, & it's still crystal clear. I don't remember the brand I have though ... 10 years is a long time. You shouldn't have to take the bumper off to install. Mine just is on the front part of the light & doesn't wrap around the edge at all.

You can probably apply it without pulling the housings off the car. Watch a few videos on the process and go for it...it's easy. Mine have been on for a couple years, still clear, no reduction in light output. Glass under it looks new.

I just swapped to glass lenses as well and used a lamin-x like product. Works perfectly. Very nice upgrade. I decided not to go with super duper new lamps as they don't last as long as the stock oem offerings. And with the crystal clear lenses, aren't needed in my opinion. But I'm talking Golf here which I think had a tad better stock lighting output.
