Fog lights Hella or OEM Volkswagen

I also like the Hellas over the other aftermarket lights (except for maybe something like KC) because of their beam pattern. Super nice cutoff and it's not as blinding to other drivers with the fog beam pattern.

I can confirm that the fog lights on my 2021 SEL P R-Line Arteon work great. I was driving from Seattle to Portland and passed through several areas of dense fog. The fog lights did a good job of lighting the road near and to the (front) sides of the car.

The LED lights work way better than any fog lights I've owned. It really does illuminate the side of the road and fills the gap between the front of your hood and where the standard lights start.

I've owned my SEL premium for about 1.5 months and feel the headlights are fine after being adjusted. The stock fog light aren't that great but can easily be replaced.

I had Hella 500 fog and driving lights on my Jeep. Good bang for the buck.

the Hella's work fine. Since I rarely drive with the fog lights on (only when it's raining at night). they do its job just fine.

I have Hella 500 fogs and installed them with the quad light bracket. I spliced mine into the factory fogs so one switch inside turns on all of them. It also meant that I didn't need to drill any holes in my firewall. I recommend it. It's relatively easy to do, and relatively inexpensive as well. You will need to cut the factory grill, though.

So I initially enabled the all weather light, city light, and rain light modes. I use my fog lights most of the time and didn't really like how the beam pattern changed when having them on, so I disabled the all weather mode. It is very hard to notice a change with city mode enabled, but if you come to a stop or accelerate from a stop you'll notice the beam pattern change slightly.

I just bought these to replace the broken ones on my 98. Like you I thought it was a solid deal and they are a little bigger than the factory ones. They will not fit on the same bracket the factory ones were mounted on. The mounting point is on the bottom vs the back like the OEMs and the additional size makes it impossible.

I noticed only one foglight was lighting up. Went out and checked it and saw that the right side foglight has a hole in it, and is partially filled with water. An unfortunate end to the Hella lights.
