Foglamp bulbs
Seen to have mislaid my Haynes, anyone know which bulb is fitted to the standard factory front foglamps? It's cold and wet and I don't want to go outside to find out! :)

Re: Foglamp bulbs
Actually, while I'm at it, anyone know how to re-align them? Haynes only gives instructions for the headlamps, and I'm pretty sure they're not quite right, been hit too many times with a football by the local kids playing in the street.

Re: Foglamp bulbs
Undo the nut and re-adjust them. The fog light beam should hit the ground about 5 metres in front of the car.

Re: Foglamp bulbs
That's useful - any advice re the side-to-side adjustment? Headlamps tend to illuminate more of the left side than the right, is the same for fogs?

Re: Foglamp bulbs
Straight ahead, they have a wide spread anyway.

Re: Foglamp bulbs
And please please dont use the front fog lights in the rain or at night as other drivers seem to do.

Re: Foglamp bulbs
You see it all the time here in Tottenham, day or night, the local boy racers seem to think it's really cool or something... I think I've only used mine once in ten years of owning the car.

Re: Foglamp bulbs
Found this article on lamp aiming in general, looks pretty comprehensive and applicable to Europe too, though for the UK obviously the beam pattern is reversed:
