intermittant fogs

[Deleted member 20482]

hi all.
i changed all my bulbs to the "white/blue" lights and all was fine, but recently my front fogs have started to not work when switched on,so i get out of the car and give them a little kick then they work.... question is, is it the bulbs or the connections or the switch in the car?
i have taken apart b4 and can't see anything wrong with the bulb or how its connected...so at a loss at mo...
anybody got any ideas or had a similar problem?

The switch looks the same as my Audi, I.E pull the headlight switch for fogs?

More than likely it will be the switch, its a commonish problem across the VAG range...

We used to have an old tv that didnt work sometimes so we had to slap the side and it worked again, would never kick my car tho. lol

my h7s were doing this, but i think because my LED festoons had gone on my rear bumper, they were causing a short somewhere..so iv changed the festoons, removed the h7 and put it back and now there working fine

I had a problem with my Fogs coming on with my main beam - turned out the switch needed removing from the dash and pushing back togethr as it had a loose connection at the back - might well be your problem too.
