Fog Light Bulb Type

Post by FINN444 »

So the other day a friend pointed out that one of my fog light bulbs was burnt out... I was going to replace it, but I can't seem to find what size bulb I need to buy. What size bulb do I need to buy and how hard is it to change these? I have also been thinking of replacing them with the LED Projector Fog Lights, but I'm not sure that I would want to try wire them up, as I have very little experience with wiring things. Any thoughts on that would be appreciated...

Any more wattage than factory will melt the lenses, ending up with a nice opaque plastic spot in the middle of the lens. Ask me how I know...
