After Sales Fog Light Fitment.

(27-11-2012 11:41am)ED209 Wrote:  H7 is a type of bulb, nothing to do with eu lamp approval, fog lights are marked with a B to desgnate them as fog lights, no amount of tinkering with wires will change their status. These markings are found tucked right under the foglamp on the evoque and are difficult to see unless you remove the lens.

In your earlier post (#7) you stated that the bulb has the marking on it. I am sure that this is incorrect and any marking is on the lens or the reflector. Bulbs have generic names, eg h4, h7, w5w etc. You choose the bulb by wattage and fitting type, not for the function of the light

I meant the lens, not the bulb. Sorry about the error.
