What bulb for rear passenger fog light ?

Post by celica » Sun Oct 14, 2018 9:45 pm

What bulb do I need and any recommendations

How is it replaced? Is there an easy flap or is it plastic trim off etc

Seen a few YouTube videos

Actually is it the bulb or could be a dodgy unit so the whole lamp piece needs changing out from the rear tailgate?

I have an error ping up when switch on the car, but why would it come on when I’ve not turned the fog light on?

Thanks

Anyone know why it’s intermittent

Could it be a dodgy bulb, connector, unit etc.?

Thanks , great website
Comes up as 382 12V 21W P21W Bayonet Bulbs for rear fog light and pretty standard bulb

Pain that you’ve got to unscrew, take cover off tailgate with trim tool to get to it!

Getting the same message occasionally, but all the bulbs were working fine. Have recently changed the battery, so far no messages, it may have been down to that.
