Side support (for fog light to bolt in) 5K0807261 - These side supports are more parts that sort of don't exist on the golf bumper. The golf bumper has something similar but its just used as a support to keep the bumpers shape, not to actually bolt the fogs to.

What is the wiring harness for a golf fog light?

Fog light wiring harness adapter. Golf fog bulbs are 9006, GTI's are H8 so you need a way to connect the two.

The extra 8" of slack you get from the adapter is nice to have when removing and reconnecting the bumper.
