I have them, I've had them for years. I started with the Touareg, then when I sold my T1 I put them in my A4. They're super super bright, and have the ability to strobe as well. Yellow cuts though the snow and fog like nothing. I use them every day and they've been amazing. They're not cheap but 100% worth it. Customer service sucks with them but the product is A1

So wait - I'm in for these as the stock halogen bulbs suck... How do they operate or switch modes, by turning on/off through the standard fog light switch to activate??? Says turn on/off fast to operate strobe mode. Not interested in that, just want white, option for yellow is cool.. Any insight in how the modes are switched??? Also, do these play well with T3 Canbus, or do I need a VAG com to switch some bits to get working properly?

You turn them on and off to switch modes, by turning the fog lights on and off.

Thanks for that link.
So you had to order the resistors to make them CanBus compliant?

That may be resolved by the resistor. If I were to get these, I would try without the resistor first unless @Touaregman33 says he needed them.

They work just fine without the resistor, on my T1 and A4, but when I put them on strobe mode I do get a error message saying that they're out. ( They're not) If I would have bought the resistor I wouldn't get the error code.

But they work perfectly without the resistor, no coding plug in and play.

I don't have many pics because it's hard to take at night, but I do have a few videos of them strobing if anyone wants to PM me I can send the video.

Here are a few photos,

Nice! - I'm guessing that these pics are live and you're in upstate NY.. Storm is coming.... ⛄

No I wish I was in upstate lol. These pics are from last year. If it was Snowing right now I'd jump out and take some more detailed photos for you guys.

 

[Touaregman33]

Here they are on my T1, I don't have many pics of them in her as I got these fog lights in late 2019, and then covid hit and I stopped driving it, then she broke again and then switched them to my A4 before selling her.

 

[Touaregman33]

How was the light throw? It says you can rotate them to get the angle you want. I put whiter, brighter bulbs in mine but it still isn't enough for me.

Light throw is amazing. Like I said they're still used daily.

 

[Touaregman33]

I ordered them without the resistor based on the info given in post #12. I'm just hoping I don't get a fog lamp out warning on the MFD. There's something in the back of my mind that I recall having to buy CanBus ready LED fog light bulbs due to getting the message with standard LED ones.
Worse comes to worse I can put the ones I have now back in until I get resistors.

I don't have an error while using them in my 14 A4, I am assuming they use a similar electrical system. the only time I get an error is when I turn on the strobe lights, otherwise it's good.

 

[Touaregman33]

So I just ordered the deAutoLED switchback fog lamps that Touaregman33 suggested in post #2. I went with these, despite seeing LASFIT has them available for less, because they offer a lifetime warranty.
I found discount code FOG15 and wound up paying $133.11, shipping was free.

I've had Zero issues with them in all the years. It's a great product.

How about these? White high beam yellow low beam.

These look nice, the price is a little concerning though, I also wouldn't want them to burn out quickly and have to replace the whole housing.

 

[Touaregman33]

Got a notice that my order shipped today. Looks like we'll have decent weather when they get here so I can get them installed.

It's a very quick and easy install. I do them under 5 minutes each side. Just remove the few bottom screws in the wheel liner, can squeeze your hand it.

 

[Touaregman33]

Yep, that's how I got the current new bulbs in. I'll have to see if anyone I know uses H11s as I will have two sets I don't need.

I have a stack of them in my draw haha.

 

[Touaregman33]

@Micheld7 is correct! I forgot about this as I have my A4's Fog lights coded to stay on with the high beams

 

[Touaregman33]

I believe they're located in Brooklyn or Queens Ny, so you can judge from where you live on how fast you think they'll get here.

 

[Touaregman33]

Looks great!

 

[Touaregman33]

Didn't take you as a plate cover guy haha

 

[Touaregman33]

That's what I'm waiting to see on the drive home from work tonight.
My initial thought is I don't think they're as bright as the Auxito LED's I had in.

These are super bright. I can see for miles with them...

 

[Touaregman33]

Clear ones. I also blurred the plate in the photos.

So you're not about that life

 

[Touaregman33]

Confirmed tonight that these definitely aren't as bright as the Auxito LED ones I had in.
I'll leave them in for Winter so I can use the Amber beams, but I'll switch them out for Summertime.

I think you need your eyes checked.

 

[Touaregman33]

How so?

Like at the Eye Doctor...

 

[Touaregman33]

That's not what I meant wise guy. You sayin' I need my eyes checked because the new LED bulbs aren't as bright as the ones I had in?

Yes, you may have early stages of cataracts you should take action before it gets worse.
