damn that sucks:frown:

yeah i wanted to get some specific vag com work done but the tech told me that what i wanted could only be done if the car had a highline module :thumbdown: which no US spec rabbit has, some jettas do though depending on build date...

so if i wanted to install foglights, but dont have the highline, is it not possible in any way?

Of course it's possible. If you don't want to invest enough to use all OEM stuff and make it perfectly match the service manual (which may require a new ECU and such, if that's what all this "highline" talk is about, IMO way overboard for installing some fog lights) just do it the same way it's been done for decades on all manufacturers' cars. It's not hard to get electricity to lights and to wire switches/relays for the behavior you want. Lights aren't rocket science even if manufacturers are trying to make it that way.

Yeah, I know that is possible. I had all kinds of wires in my last car, and dont really want it to be the same way for this car.

This looks like a very clean install too. It uses a trigger wire. This is probably what I'm gonna do with mine.

That is my install. Feel free to field me any questions, I should be able to provide most answers. If not I can always direct Nitroscope in the direction of this thread and he will have a 100% definite answer for you, so ask away.
