dude you can get them for 159.95 at http://rapidparts.com/new/Pages/lights.html Get the Golf 4 and not the Jetta 4, there the same except that the Jetta ones come with remote. Now I don't know if "remote" that means switch, call and find out. $160 for fog lights isn't bad., I'd do it but I have the turbo engine.

The holes in the lower bumpers are different shapes
the Golf IV has a more rectangular shape to the outer lower cutouts
the Jetta IV has a curved shape to the outer part of the lower cutouts
So I don't think the Golf IV DE's will work in the Jetta

so the plastic grill cost $50 each? Can't he just buy the grills from hella? I doubt they'll cost $50 each.

http://www.parts4vws.com have them.
remote means wireless remote that means they wouldn't be controled by the headlight switch.

Re: hella micro DE's for a Jetta (Audi)

A remote control transmitter (located in a convenient position such as the dashboard) sends a signal to a receiver in the engine compartment. Therefore, you no longer have to run wires through the firewall.

Re: hella micro DE's for a Jetta (Fantomasz)

I didn't use the remote control because it looks ugly... I use my euro switch instead... hope you like it

... oh well if you wanna ask if it worths the price, I would say no...

did you have to paint the grilles to match the stock center grille? if you did, how did you do this?
thanks

Has anyone actually been able to install these lights onto a 1.8 T. Everyone states that you can not do it. Might block the intercooler or something.
Anyone have any input?
Thanks in advance...

It's probably safe (not harmful) to put 'em on a 1.8T but you would generally want as much air hitting the IC for performance reasons... I guess the TT wheel liner mod, or some way of throwing more air over there would minimize the shortfalls.

If you are worried about the $250 price tag, Lanspeed sells a cheaper model at $129.95. Keep in mind it DOES NOT come with a harness or switch. You would have to do the wiring for yourself.

I know that I have a Golf, but I love the look of the Hella's. They are extremely easy to install. Mine only took me 45 minutes. I also have the factory fogs in mine so 4 fogs in one car. A bit much but at least I can see at night. Here is a pic of it at night

Re: hella micro DE's for a Jetta (adsl_keeki)

hey adsl, how'd you wire them into your euroswitch? I got mine off that initial group buy months ago, but after I got them installed never bothered to figure it out..
