Supercharged 2 Posted February 27, 2005 Ok, a few people have mentioned that the late fogs are rebuildable but I cannot find any info on where to get the lenses... Hella make the original units for VW but the Haywire reckons you can get a Bosch lense to replace but they are only available in the States... New units are £90 each and I refuse to pay that amount for something that can break so easily... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted February 27, 2005 I'd be interested in this too, as I broke one today. GPC do fogs for £55. http://www.gpcvwaudi.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 27, 2005 GPC are £85 for the late ones... ETKA list some 'dummy' foglamp units - anyone know what exactly these are...? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 28, 2005 I'll get the part number off my Bosch lenses when I get home, and then MJS could probably get them in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 28, 2005 Nice one - I was thinking of just ringing Hella too with there part number... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted February 28, 2005 ooh, yeah! I've got a 2 sets of broken fogs... If I can get some lenses, I can update the lights on my Grey C to the nicer looking (IMHO) later fogs/indicators... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 28, 2005 Can you tell if Pablo_VR6 has left the forum or not? It was him that ordered a load of Lense sets from the states and I bought mine from him! They are a lot clearer than the Hella ones though, might look odd next to the opaque indicators? I'll stick some pics up of the lenses tonight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted February 28, 2005 Nice one - I was thinking of just ringing Hella too with there part number... Supercharged, the number for my broken lense is 301 140 865. Are you going to ring Hella? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 28, 2005 Cool, I'll ring em now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 28, 2005 Nice one, I'd rather use the hella ones if they're available as they match the indicators. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 28, 2005 Hmmm - not much luck there, that long number is not a part number apparently, they work on the E number and the digits below or beside it, I went out to the car and wrote evrything down for all the lights then called them back but hardly anything shows up on there system as its all made under license for VW They only sell the early lamps but they are more expensive than VW and the same with the side repeaters... Looks like Bosch is the way to go, If Kev gives me the part number I'll call them up tomorrow.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted February 28, 2005 Are the Bosch ones any more resilient to cracking? i.e. tempered glass? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
