If these look OK to you then find the centerline on your bumper and drill
the holes 16 inches on each side of the center mark.
These lights are the accessory type sold by VW dealers.
Be sure to install the lights using a relay. If you connect it directly
to the driving light rocker switch you'll have meltdown.(If you use the
OEM type switch in your instrument cluster.)
Believe it or not you can slip a nut under the bumper (tape it in the box
end of your wrench) start your bolt in it and you don't need to remove
the bumper.
