With  #67 bulbs, the lite is the same as the regular taillights.
That's the bulbs I have also.  But the result will not be fog lights, 
just increased width taillights.  I'm not sure, but I think the 
Roccos don't have the fog lite capability.  That would take a 
seperate circuit for those bulbs, along with a switch,not the way the 
tail assembly is wired now.  Maybe the Euro Roccos had them.  I 
always thought that the fogs referred to on the news groups were on 
newer VWs.  Still, putting in the extra bulbs does give you a much 
better visibility to vehicles approaching from the rear, and that's not bad.
