Hi Lucy, Can't your MOT garage get you the correct bulb and fit it for you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Hi, Yes they’ve been very good. My issue was that the fog light has been modified from the drivers side reversing light which is clear. The bulb must’ve been ‘painted’ by whoever fit it when it was first converted. They don’t do the bulb I need in red. It’s been sorted by taking a break light red bulb out and using that. What I’m worried about now is when that one goes.. Has anyone else had any issues sourcing bulbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the photo, but it is difficult to see the clear bulb behind the clear plastic packaging. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My story is I got fig light installation done and at first MOT was told the fog light bulb colour is not exactly right and might fail mot next time! So I need to source a red bulb that is I believe 'double filament". I have the bulb that came out from that spot originally. Let me post the pic here for information, though I understand one we need is different. I have contact to dig light installer and he should be able to help. I'll get back after speaking to him. By the way...Information is buried in this forum that is crying for method to some tabulated logical search method 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teekay Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I've asked someone who does Fog lights install and he said the rear tail light conversion bulb is 921R Red 12V 21W Capless Push Fit Car Bulb To remind the original bulb there was KOITO JAPAN 921 12V W16W E4 2EL 8ZG Fog light after conversion is circled in picture below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
