They are bright enough at night to shine a little bit in the front of the car but by no means are they "good fogs." I find the headlights in this car adequate to not really need fogs but all the same, I like the look of them and they are not distracting to oncoming drivers.
The smoked Mk III fogs are one of the best looking fog lights of the era.
Though Mk3 turns/fogs tend to break often and fall out. My ex gf had a Mk3 and we had to replace the lights a few times. Its a pretty crappy design.
depo are crap, and if you care to disagree have a look at the pics below my mate bought some depo front fog lights for his mk2 golf, and before anyone says.......... no he didn't put in higher wattage lamps, their the original lamps which where supplied with the fog lamp. The whole light fitting melted and destroyed the bulb holder
