How to change fog light bulbs?
I've just bought a set Hoen fog light xenon match bulbs and was wondering how to replace them? Do you pull off the trim around the fog light and have access to replace the bulb or is it by another way? My car is a 13 LCI model, Thanks in advance guys as your help will be much apreciated!

yes, first pull the silver palstic, then pull the black one. then with a flat screw driver on top of the fog light, carefully push down the clip. DONE!
Just bought some LED fog lights and I'm very impressed! |

Which LED fog light bulbs are you using?
Did you get any error codes? Did you use an inline resistor? If so, where did you mount it? Thanks! Looking forward to your response, as I've been experimenting with various solutions, and have yet to find an LED solution that works. |

This is interesting - an H8 will fit in an H11 socket, but not the other way around. There is one side tab "wing" on the H11 that is larger. I would prefer the H11 since they come in 55w as opposed to 35w...Gary from Hoen said he shows H11 too...

I pulled the fog bulb as outlined earlier - the bulb is marked "OSRAM H11 Made in Germany"...when pulling the fog light housing out YOU DO NOT USE THE ALLEN FASTENER LOCATED ON THE TOP - that is for the fog light beam adjustment. Depress a simple silver clip downwards next to that Allen screw and gently pull the entire housing outward...I'd post pics but can't do it on the iPhone app

I was told the fogs are H11 55w so i ordered a set and when it came to fitting time took the old bulbs out and found they were actually H8 35w bulbs so had to re-order lol but maybe different countries have other type of fog light specs!?

I have a 2013 LCI 50i and it's got the H11s... May be because it has the LED headlamps? Idk |
