Above the radio on the left there should be a push button switch. Start poking things until you get them on. You have bigger problems to solve. Oil leak? Timing chain? Doubt it. Google will be your friend.

The fogs are interlocked with the headlights. I don't think they will come without the headlights.

Design requirements in most countries stipulate they be interlocked with the parkers (side lights).
They usually come on with headlights too. On my PFL B5 they extinguish on high beam also, but on that model they're within the same light housing so it's probably a heat issue.

That right rear link to the sway bar is part number 8D0-505-466 and runs 63.98 dollars. Plus about 10.00 shipping. It takes 2 days to get to us and then up to about 5 days at most to get to you. Once ordered on average it is 5-8 working days to get the part to you, within the US. Any questions please ask us.
