How do you wire the rear lights of a VW Golf MK2 fitting a towbar?

Here's one method that will work. I have used it in several vehicles. You will need several relays. It depends on your vehicle as to how many but it's at least 2 and not more than 4. The relays are 12 volt relays. You can get them at an auto supply store or Radio Shack. One note on the relays... Do NOT get fog light relays. These have a metal case and the metal case is one of the relay connections. For the left side connect one side of the relay coil to the left turn signal and one side to the brake light. For the right side connect one side of the relay coil to the right turn signal and one side to the brake light. For the marker lights connect the coil of a relay to both sides of a marker light on the van. This step is only needed if you have low side (ground) switching or with some bulb monitoring circuits. For all relays connect one side of the relay contacts to a 12 volt source and the other side to the appropriate wire on the trailer harness. Some relays have a 'normally open' and 'normally closed' set of contacts. Use the normally open set. My above method is for using the vehicle to tow with. If you are towing the Golf that's a different wiring hook up. I'll whatch the board here to see if you need that info.

Are rear fog lights available for the VW Golf?
I'm not sure about older models, but the current Golf offerings in the US, the Rabbit and GTI, and probably the A3 can't be ordered with rear fog lights, but they can be added as an aftermarket option. This requires replacing the headlight switch with a European model and running a wire which snaps into the existing wiring harness.

If you purchase a direct fit tow bar, it should be self explanatory as the mounting brackets should line up with the frame/rear bumper supports. Unfortunatel y with a mk4, there is a large overhang on the rear bumper, and it isn't really well suited for a towbar, so there might not be many options our there.
