Default Rear Foglights

I was finding some information on the audi a3s and from Audi they told me that audi a3`s 2006-2008 do not have rear fog lights installed and the switch do not allow it. The rear tail lights have the spot for foglights from what i saw in the forum in fortitude. i have a link on what you need to do to enable them as our cars have the options but the bulbs may not be in place.

the a3s without the face lift i dont know about the new models.

i am planning to get this done as i figure out more information on the coding and im waiting for my switch i have ordered.

Picture of switch i ordered:

Be sure that applies to Canadian cars as well.

If you haven't ordered already the switch I have a new one sitting here in the box that I would happily sell for CAD $75 plus shipping. (No duty, no tax.)

Awesome! I love finding "hidden" extras like that. I bought the switch in hopes to make the rear fog light work on the 08 TT I had. Unfortunately the wiring wasn't there. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

there is no wiring needed all that is needed is to replace the switch and some coding.

The headlight switch installs super easily. From there it sounds like you just need to plug in the VAG-COM to enable the rear fog light and make sure there's bulbs installed.

That's going to look hot! I'd be all over the S3 if it was available here.

Make sure you post some pics when she's all done too!

Do you know if this can be done to a 2008? Where would one get the coding information? It is a feature I'd like.
