When three local dealerships told me that you cannot retro fit Front Fog Lights to our 2012 Lounge and have them work as per the factory fitment I thought hmmmm, can't retro fit a safety device I bet I can.
On our Lounge, behind the UK passenger side fog light blanking moulding was a part of the loom with a plug on it the same as the plug on the fog lamp itself, you can also see if its there by removing the inner arch plug, the rectangular bit that can be removed for inspection and access behind the front bumper.
What wasn't present is the wiring jumper loom that goes across the front bumper to link the two fog lights, The part number for this is 51798092 and cost £28.01 plus VAT when I bought one in 2015, it even comes with the clips to fix it to the bumper.
I bought a set of pattern fog lights off amazon and the fog light mouldings.
The mouldings were £6.95 each plus P&P, the fog lights themselves were about £60.00 with the bulbs, we actually changed the switch but I doubt you actually need to, we did it for aesthetics just to have the front fog light icon on the switch. All in all its cost about £150.00 to have them working.
You will need Multiecuscan to enable, I was nervous doing the proxy alignment, waiting for the various ecu success messages but when it was done, ignition off as it tells you, waited, ignition on, lights on. one press of the fog light switch and the front fogs came on, didn't even have to fit any fuses or relays, second press and the front and rear fogs were on. third press and all fog light off......happy days. I actually fitted the fogs lights etc all in 2015.
I doubt that the loom that was present on ours will be there on all the other variations but it is easy enough to look.
So if the dealer tells you no it can't then chances are it possibly can. Sorry for the long post. Off to give it a good clean.
