Front Fog Light Fitments

[Nilz]

Hi all

Does anyone know what type of bulb fits in the front fog in the front bumper of an 02 S3??

I am looking on changing the current bulbs, as not too happy about the yellow look, compared to the xenons....

And before anyone says anything, im not a driver that cruises around with his fogs on all the time, its just something that i want to do, just in case i do need to use them, it would look better than it does now thats all...

Thanks
Nilz

Hi animal

Dont really want to go down the HID route, i have a set of xenon bulbs that are really good they give a really nice crisp white look and they are a H7 fitment, so I just wanted to know that if they fit, then i would just swap them over.....

H7 Bulb Fitment

Got a set of PIAA Xtreme Force in them. Easy enough to fit.

Good stuff, that should be a nice cheap "mod" for me then

Does the car need to be on a ramp/jacked up to swap them, or can they be accessed from the engine bay??

No need. You can pull off the plastic mesh surround - just pull hard away from you. You then get access to the foglight, it is fixed in by 3 screws (torx bits IIRC), once unscrewed to take it out you need to pull it out at an angle as a plastic lug keeps it 'clipped in' on the inside. Once off unlpug the connector and unscrew the top to get access to the bulb - I gave the lense a quick clean as condensation was building up.
