Because of the lack of wires to the rear tail lights on a Mk7 (pre-facelift), it will never happen unless you run the a wire from the BCM into the hatch. On the Mk7.5 (facelift) cars, I would have to check but I believe they have one or two extra wires which means it maybe possible.

When you ordered from jbale you should have specified no fog, 1 fog or dual fog. I'm kind of surprised he didn't ask you.

I emailed him, and he said he doesn't have a rear fog capability for the 7.5...and no work around.When you ordered from jbale you should have specified no fog, 1 fog or dual fog. I'm kind of surprised he didn't ask you.

Tried a power sensor on the harnesses and couldn't figure it out, maybe it's because I still need to code a fog to get power down the harness.
Meh, perhaps I'll just get a different harness down the road, everything else works fine.

Sorry, didn't see that this was for a 7.5. Wonder what the difference is in the VW wiring that prevents the rear fog from being used.

NA MK7.5s have two wires more from the factory than NA MK7s. It makes it even easier.

Mine finally came in. I designed and built my own harness (MK7.5-MK7.5) with provisions for additional signals to the BCM in the future. I used the harness that came with the kit and added the necessary wires. This made it easy to gauge the lengths before even starting the install.
Everything works great and if anyone wants any info I'm happy to share. I would still recommend buying a premade harness from Zero to save time but I wanted a challenge and this is my kind of work.

Received mine from e-acca yesterday and couldn't wait to do the install so I finished it off before the sun went down. I'm not as smart as the rest of you guys so I bought a pre-made harness from Zero815 and I'll give a brief review here. The guy is fantastic. He's extremely helpful, the harness was made with beautiful quality and shipped out lightning quick. He offers customization and helps to clarify the coding.
During the install I borked an adaptation when I accidentally set the Leuchte17 Lichtfunktion A17 to "Blinken rechts Hellphase" when it was supposed to be "Blinken links Hellphase". A quick email to Zero and in less than 5 minutes he had responded with the solution.
10/10 service. I would never hesitate to direct someone his way for a harness. I'm sure the other sellers for these are good too but for the service and ease of install I'll go with Zero every time.

Full set from e-acca. They are PN 5G1052200C and come in a nice VW box with pictures on the outside and description. The set includes all 4 lights with a fog lamp on the left but I am not using the fog.
The reverse lights are symmetrical in size so for all intents when you are not using fog lights the two sides look exactly the same
