Which fog light bulb do I need, 05 Jimny

Post by Sump » Sat Jan 25, 2014 10:32 am

Hello group, just a quick one. One of my front fog lights has gone out, can anyone advise on what type to order. Its on a 05 1.2L petrol model, I had a look on EBay but there are so many types available.
Any advice appreciated
Kind regards Otto

Go to your local motor factors with your reg number and they should have one.

Thanks Turbo T, I was thinking on ordering x2 yellow units off EBay so could have done with the type really, some are listed as H8 but I don't know if they are compatible, I suppose my local motor factors could advise though.
Thanks again

Take it out and take a photo? It should be obvious what type it is? Usually spot & fog lights are h3's but I don't have a jimny so couldn't say for sure

Take it out, take it to motor factors, get 2 (1 spare).
If it ticks over...leave it

Well the tinternet says

H3 1998-2005
H8 2006 onwards

Both available in yellow.
I would remove one for a look, just to be sure you get the correct ones.

I would order h11's if you check eBay they look the same.... I've not h11's before and didn't realise all the plastic shrouding was part of the lamp
