i'm pretty sure you can only program them with the vag-com on B6 models

To make the fog independent on a B5 you can modifiy the headlight relay by removing a couple connector tabs and rewiring it (basically bypassing the headlight line with a line of your own straight to the foglight line in the relay)

do a search it has to be here

Man dual rear fogs, especially if you are turning them on while driving is jacked... those things are so annoying to other drivers.

i bet they are but I don't really care, not to keep them on at all times but maybe have them come on with the breaks or something.

You can get ticketed for dual rear fogs. It's a stupid mod and serves no purpose other than to do the "phantom brake check" on people that drive up your tail. Funny to see them hit the brakes when you do that, but driving with them on all the time like some people do is just dumb.

And thats besides the fact that it eliminates the directional functionality of your rear foglight
