The installation of side marker lights on your Scirocco is relatively easy and gives a unique look to your US spec Scirocco, along with an added safety factor. Read through this thoroughly before beginning. Remember, once you drill there's no easy way to fix a mistake. Good luck!
 

1. Begin by removing the plastic wheel well liner. This will allow you to make sure there is nothing behind the fender you will be drilling. It doesn't take much time, so you're better safe than sorry!

2. Measure (horizontally) and mark the center of the bottom of the side molding piece just in front of the door.

3. Measure the height of the side marker light. Divide the height by 2 and add about 1/16". Then measure this distance from the bottom of the side molding at the center mark. This is where the 15/16" hole will be drilled.

4. Measure 1" towards the front of the vehicle parallel to the side molding. This is where the 5/16" hole will be drilled.

5. At this point you should have two marks, one inch appart parallel to and below the side molding. Double check your measurements before drilling to insure that the side marker light will fit. "Measure twice! Drill once!"

6. Drill a small, pilot hole at each mark, checking for clearance behind the fender. Then drill each hole to it's proper size.

7. Once the holes are drilled, test fit the sidemaker light. A small amount of filing may be required to insure a proper fit.

8. Paint the exposed metal edges so they won't rust.

Wiring is the simple part. Route the wires from the side marker lights to the turnsignals. Then find the +12V wire for the turnsignals and the wire for the ground. Then solder one wire to to the +12 and one to the ground. If you don't want to solder, get "piggyback" spade connectors from Radio Shack. These are Y-shaped and have one female connector and two male connectors.

And yes, those are Wolfsburg Edition badges on the fender. Yes, they were mailed to him from the U.S.
