hi this is my first post on here :)

im currently looking to upgrade all of the bulbs on my car. I have already done the headlights and ordered all of the interior bulbs and number plate bulbs, but i am now looking to do the front fogs. I have read a post on here saying that it will either be hb4 or h11 depending on whether the lenses are projector or not.

Is there a way of telling what type of lense they are so i can get the right bulb or do i have to take the bulb out so i can have a look at the bulb itself. Cheers :)

Hi Meady,

This is what your fog lights will look like if you have projector headlights



and this is what they will look like if you dont



Hope that's helped out your query :)  can you forward me any ebay links to the interior bulbs if they're led?

Cheers bud and welcome to the club  :happy2:

i think im going to go for white ones with a slight blue tint. I know that yellow cuts through the fog better (or so ive been told) but i just prefer the look of the whiter lights :)

These are the ones I'm holding out for. Nowhere in the UK stocks them though but have seen a seller from the US that sells them so that's where I'm going to get them from.

And don't talk to me about slippery slopes. I thought I was immune and had reasonable self control. No such chance. You are a bad lot, all of you!  :signLOL:

Haha, I like how more people are owning up to impulse buying because of this site.

It really is a slipper slope.

Im already looking at r32 bumpers and other bloody mods!! :stupid: So much so the misses is getting v.unhappy and asks questions "why can't we go out for dinner again?"  :fighting2:
