Tuning Linx - Fog lights from Hella for the current Golf V

Fog lights from Hella for the current Golf V
Hella's tried and tested Micro DE fog light is now also available as a vehicle-specific Golf V version

Lippstadt, June 2005. Vehicle-specific and with radio remote control system: Hella's Micro DE fog light retrofit kit is now also available for the Volkswagen Golf V.

Fog lights guarantee significantly better visibility when driving. Lights such as the Micro DE make orientation easier in poor visibility conditions. It projects the light of the H3 halogen bulb onto the road via a profiled glass lens with a light aperture of only 40 millimetres. The advantages: exact beam pattern, broad carpet of light in front of the vehicle with firm edging, no scatter light which leads to driver self-glare in fog.

The vehicle-specific mounting is optimised by special Design covers, which saves time otherwise wasted on looking for a suitable installation position. Attachment is invisible to the existent series openings on the bumper. The vehicle covers are simply replaced by the Hella Design covers with Micro DE.

The Micro DE fog light retrofit kit is supplied with the innovative Hella radio remote control system, making drilling holes and complex cable routing from the engine compartment to the passenger compartment a thing of the past. The signals between the switch and Micro DE are transmitted without wires, via radio, thus dispensing with cable routing through the bulkhead between the passenger compartment and engine compartment.

Just like the fog light, the radio control system has both ECE approval (for Europe) and SAE approval (for USA), which means they do not require approval by the registration authorities nor have to be entered in the vehicle papers.

That the Micro DE combines quality and safety has been proved by comparative tests carried out by the specialist journals "Auto Zeitung" (issue 22 dated 9th October 2002) and "auto motor und sport" (issue 8 dated 4th April 2001) among others. The Micro DE was in 1st place in both these tests and was awarded the grade "highly recommended".
