Post by: jaceyboy on 25 February 2020, 20:57: Just had this pop up tonight, does it mean the bulb has blown?, if so does anyone know what type of halogen they use and how easy to change?, cheers

With cornering lights doubling up as fog lights, crisp white LED light is much less penetrative through fog than yellow halogen light.

Not on the lighting package they are completely separate to the fog lights. The cornering lights are in the headlight unit. They have been LEDs for 5+ years now with no problems and the beam pattern is the same as the oem bulbs and don't blow as often as halogen ones.
