Fog Light Bulbs

[Richard Ware]

Hi guys,

Kept getting fog light bulb warnings so removed bulb and out came this...see picture. now my question is... what type of bulb is it?, is it a HID system? or what? if you zoom in to the middle bit of the bulb, there is a spherical part which is clouded.. does this indicate its blown?

Any help appreciated

Hi that looks like a H11 HID BULB.

More than likely the issue coul be with the ballast itself (which is what the bulb would have been connected to). Either the correct ballast was not fitted (canbus compatible - error free) or it is actually faulty. The bulb visibily looks ok, when a HID bulb goes faulty or blows you can see a lot more milkiness in the tube and around the spheric bit.
