Kevin-

You're right about one thing, and I wouldn't recommend the other.

Based on what people have been saying, my wish to run my fogs with the
highbeams can be accomplished by replacing relay 110 with a bridge (correct
me if I'm wrong).

However, in NO CASE should you run low beams AND high beams with stock
Jetta lights because it is a single assembly dual-filament light. Running
both the high and the low beam simultaneously will cause damage to the
light from heat damage (causing cracking or breaking of the filament).

I think I want the Euro switch because it will allow me the option of
adding the rear fogs in the future (not needed at the moment, but in a few
months, the northwet (sp!) will become just that.
