FR bulb types? Fog and rear blinker
- Thread starter Jaco2k
- Start date
I need something a bit more sure than that
Also, not sure if there are differences in fog light bulb types between trims, which is why I specify FR.
...obrigado pela resposta
Thanks! Seems to be exactly what I needed - they state H8 for fog lights, which is consistent with the Leon and Skoda Octavia and is what I expected.

Did the foglights to LED - made a video also, that will come later.
There is good and there is bad:
- lights are now way brighter
- did not need to code anything
- I had turned cornering lights on and now they do light the corner part
Bad things:
- even though I purposely chose a 'safe' style of LED bulb, they glare like crazy and the pattern is all-over the place. You can't really use them as foglights anymore and even as cornering lights I have some doubts.
- the bulb construction has a fan at the back, which is exposed and in general, weather proofing doesn't seem the best, so I assume that when they get wet, they are going to fail.
In general it is a good and easy mod, but it needs the suitable bulb type.
Probably just splash extra on the Philips Ultinon LED H8 bulbs.

So where is the video you were talking about?!
I need to replace my fog light normal bulbs to Led.

Good point - it is on my hard drive waiting to be edited
If you are a patient guy, I can try to edit it this weekend.
Been editing ice track videos lately and that took all of my time.
I will be patient , I am sure LED fog lights will be awesome and match with full LED headlights.Good point - it is on my hard drive waiting to be edited

Good luck with your video edits.
Match they do, but I am already on the second set of bulbs and I still think the light spread is not road legal.
Pretty sure these would fail an inspection.
If anyone finds a decent bulb that can function in a reflector, please let me know.

Well, the replacement for LED and I think to pass legal inspection you can use (Blue Halogen Bulbs)
Heads-up - video is rendering
Should be up soon. Meanwhile I have ordered these to see if they glare less, but still waiting on them:
