RE: Removing rear Jetta emblem

["Ng, Kevin (NationsCredit)" <kevin.ng@nationscredit.com>]

I don't see how it is possible for you to turn on your fogs and headlights
but not your taillights. I even have the euro switch, and just turning on
the parking lights already activates the taillights, which is what I prefer
BTW. I would think it's quite unsafe (not to mention illegal) to drive w/o
taillights at night.
