FIXONICBefore you begin
Many places tell you about problems you'll have when installing the European Headlight switch with respect to the US Touareg complaining about the rear fog light not being there. Alternatives to prevent this are to install the rear fog light (about a 2 hour job according to some folks that have completed the installation) or bending pin 7 over on the headlight switch (thus preventing you from ever using it for rear fog light operation). I'm offering a solution between the two. My goals: Don't destroy the headlight switch - I may want to wire up the rear fog lights some day and I don't want to have to buy another $80 switch.I don't feel like spending two hours installing the rear fog light right nowI'll eventually pull the headlight switch out too far and cause the rear fog light burnt out warnings - so lets prevent that My solution...open up the headlight switch wiring harness and safely remove the connection inside the plug, tie the wire out of the way, and accomplish the same thing as bending pin 7 on the switch itself, but instead not rendering it useless for future rear fog installations (and increasing resale value of the switch should you ever sell it when you part ways with your Touareg). The job requires: Euro headlight switchWire cutter (used to snip a zip tie, not cut a wire!)A new zip tie (small one)Small flat blade screw driverSome electrical tape5 minutes
