Best off going to Vx for bulbs as some cheap ones play havoc with the MID check warning

Foglights are NOT H1 fitment on facelift, they are H3. This is where all the confusion stems from. Reach up underneath bumper to change.

.....looked on the chart for my car picked out all the bulbs like it said that would fit my facelift mv6....

We we talking facelift mate, I expect the halfords guide is wrong. Typical.

It's important to note that alot of auto stockist don't have correct information for facelift/new engined omegas.

yeh sorry mine is a face lift so i take it i need H3

[davlad22]

I don't think non vauxhall bulbs 'create havoc with the check control' either. Only certain LED bulbs may do that, if the correct load isn't presented to the system.

Lot's of urban myth floating around the internet.
