Rear foglight bulb
« on: 03 March 2006, 16:19 »
For the first time last night as I was finishing topping up the oil. I checked all the lights and the rear fog lights left\right side was not working.

So I get access to behind the cluster and have a look and theres no bulb in it (guess thats why) check the other side and same thing .... odd.

Could anyone tell me what size bulb goes in here, will pay halfords a visit and get some.

Bit figity gettting to behind the cluster specially when you got big hands.  :grin:

There's only a connection for a fog light on one side ( the driver's side I think ) - well that's how it is on mine - might be different on newer models!

Yep, Richy is right. There should only be one, & it's found on the off side.

ps It's the same as the brake light bulbs (& possibly the same as the indicator bulbs, too).

got me a bit confused. I haven't had a chance to fit the new bulbs yet. Hoping to do it during my lunch break tommorow.

Why would only one fog light work (might be obvious but I dunno why?)

The slot is there in the plastic mould, but there's no wire in the loom for the fog that side. :wink:

There should only be 1 rear fog, IMO, as 2 fogs would make them look like tail lights!
