Does the fog lights turn on when you turn a corner? They seem to be angled to the sides.

rofl so quick. i think i would have to pre-order mine.
ugh want it now! i don't think i'd be able to deal without a standard transmission! :haha:
I picked up the black one they had... it had been sitting in the showroom as a show car before they moved it out. Apparently I was the first customer to drive it, because they moved it out the day before I came, haha.

Didn't want the 18's or navigation because it adds to the cost, and I'd probably swap the wheels anyways, so what's the point?

They have a white, manual 2-door with navigation/Dynaudio but no leather MkVI GTI at Clarkdale right now. $33k plus freight/PDI and tax. It has the 18" Huffs as well.

Go buy it! :thumbsup: Go see Terry at Clarkdale, hehe.

Oh, I also met Kendall the other day. She's pretty knowledgeable/awesome! :thumbsup:

The fog lights don't turn on when you corner, but the LIGHTS (HID) themselves do! 15 degrees max to each side, depending on steering wheel angle and speed. It's awesome when you're taking twisties...

^You can use the fog lights as cornering lights. You will need a VAGcom to activate it. I read on the VWVortex site that you can order a 2010 Mk6 GTI in shark blue. I went to the Kelowna VW dealership earlier and they said it's not possible. :(

I really really want a blue GTI :(

Oooo thats cool. It seems weird that the fog lights are to the side like that then.

haha i don't have the cash right now. waiting till april ish? won't be too long until i join in on the GTi's hahaha.
besides. i want a four door! so sick of 2 door's now.
sounds good though, i think when i buy i will definitely buy from clarkdale!
have you tested the fog's on the road yet? are they helpful enough? considering, like everyone else says, they're off to the side. haha!

The foglights are somewhat helpful in filling the gap off to the sides and directly behind of the main headlight coverage area - which is their actual design (and purpose of foglights, IMO). In day to day driving though, I find that the low-beam and high-beam HIDs are VERY good in terms of coverage/brightness, and I don't really need the foglights for extra illumination.

When we get fog I will give you more information on how well they work in that, haha.

That, or when I hit up the old Sea to Sky or Sumas Mountain Road after exams. :haha:

too_slow, thanks for the info. When I meet a VAG-com I will be sure to activate that function.

skyxx 12-10-2009 03:31 PM
^ Maybe i should go buy that VAG-COM software online. It comes with the OBD adapter and the CD.

does the mk6 still use the low beams/hid as DRLs? i got tired of running my hids during the day on my mk5 and had it vag-com'd out so i just use my fogs as DRLs instead.

the original fogs on my mk5 were crap. it's too bad the mk6 dosen't sound like it's any better. i ended up getting oem glass projectors instead with an hid conversion from LudeS and now they actually do something for a change :thumbsup:

too_slow 12-11-2009 01:47 PM
I'm this close from ordering a 5Dr TR 6spd GTi. I like the plaid seats, so I'll probably only add the moonroof as an option. Like Roastpuff, the Denvers are sufficient (I'll replace the tires with snowS) and probably get a set of those HRE reps (VMRs) later on. I want the Dynaudio, but don't want the NAV.

Hmm...

Onassis 12-11-2009 02:00 PM
The GTi will always be around, you might as well wait for the Golf-R.

I'm doing the same thing... If the ultimate hot hatch doesn't come around, I'll be ready to either buy a new 3 door GTi or used RS4.

sorry if you've already stated it in this thread but am i reading this right? you used to own a mk5 GTI and you've traded it in for a mk6 GTI??

skyxx 12-11-2009 02:53 PM

Yes, HID DRL, and I don't think you can VAG-COM the fogs into DRL, if I recall what I read on MkV correctly.

I don't think I can really get projectors to replace the foglights due to their unique shape/location, though they work very well for side and front-lighting when turned on.

yes. typo. fixed. sorry:p

and yes to what was said ^ ... cannot make fog lights automatically come on as DRL. i just turn them on manually (using a euro switch as well).

Another awesome wheel combo

RabidRat 12-11-2009 11:53 PM
i'm learning to like the new grille, but i'm having trouble with the tail lights. has anyone tried smoking the white strips yet, or redding them out so it's more a one-piece look?

Bigbird36 12-12-2009 11:32 PM
Fogs

Yes they do. YOu must use the menu to set it up, but they do act as cornering lites around corners when they are not being used as fogs.


I have ordered a MKVI, in Carbon Steel with DSG 3 Door, I cannot wait til it arrives.

The LED Tails have been announced optional on all Golf Models in Europe (ala 2010 R32). I am hoping I can retrofit those tails onto my own MKVI sometime next year. They look great!

!Aznboi128 12-12-2009 11:41 PM
aight... I'm going to wait for 2012... maybe something better coming then if not I'l get a 2010 for cheap :)

Onassis 12-13-2009 10:32 AM
MKVII will be here by then.
