My wife's 2008 GTI shattered a fog lamp housing lens on the road. I figured I might as well switch over to projectors as the entire housing (+bulb) is now shot anyway.
Here's where I'm confused. The existing housings look like the attachment (reflectors), but the bulbs they use (and always have used are H11's...). A few different bulbfinder sites (sylvania, etc) are saying it should have been using a 9006. I understand the difference between the bulbs, and the difference between reflector vs projector housings. I'd think based on what I've read previously my '08 (not being an early NA MKV) should have reflectors with H11 bulbs (which appears to be the case).
My question is, I found the projector housings (that state they need 9006 bulbs) but is the wiring/plug the same? I can't find a side by side pic. Anybody have a link to a non-overpriced wiring adapter if I need it (which it sounds like I do).
Thanks.
