Irmscher fog light bulbs.

(1/6) > >>

A couple of my cars have a fog light out, and as the MOT's are due in a few weeks, thought a couple of new bulbs.. job done. But when I took one of the non working bulbs out ,it's an H1, and not knowing the history on the car I wouldn't know whether that is the correct bulb  fitment for the Irmscher bumper. I know that the H1 or the HB4 are for the standard Omega fog lights, but that H1 gets really hot in those small Irmscher fog light housings, and was wondering, if anyone knows what is the  correct bulb and required wattage is. TIA

Doctor Gollum:
Think H1s are the wrong bulb for the Irmscher lamps :-\

I know I had to cut off the original plugs when I fitted mine but they were replaced with a different plug, but damned if I can recall the bulbs it came with.

It was bought new from Irmscher, so not previously interfered with, which second hand may have been.

The lamp casings were used on something else, Mundeo ST200 iirc... In which case H11 was quite probably what was fitted originally.

Andy B:
no idea of the bulbs but front fog lights aren't included in the MOT  ;)

Front fog lights are a testable item on cars first registered on or after 1 March 2018 also DRLs
also...
You need to test reversing lamps on vehicles first used from 1 September 2009.

Thinking that Dr G's route is a strong option, it may be time to upgrade a bit. Just needed to know whether anyone had any problems in their past owner ship. Also thanks for the info on the MOT regs. :y
