Steve,

VW used the same lenses on all of the vans.  The rear fog lamp is
already there.  This saved me from doing a butcher job like most had to
do when adding fog lights to US spec vehicles.  There is an opening for
the bulb socket in your rear lense already.  Pull it off and pop the
backing out, you'll see what I'm talking about.  This is where VW puts
in the socket for the mandatory rear fogs for many countries.  You just
need a socket and wire it up to the switch which fits neatly into the
dash and you have rear fog lights.
