Electrics: - Front Fog Lights

SkipjackUK · Dec 14th, 2021, 18:15

noticed this evening that both my front fog lights don't work

seems strange that both lamps have blown together. had a quick check of the driver side fuse box and number 34 is a 15A fuse, this seems OK and the rear one still works

****ing it down so not going to check the lamps to see if they're blown until tomorrow.

Has anyone had both go before? I think they are 55w H1's

Does anyone recommend any decent replacements

keep smiling

Its not unusual for bulbs that were fitted at the same time to fail after a similar number hours of use, so far from odd.

That's not to say at this stage that bulb failure isnthe problem here.

The single common points of failure are the fuse, and the relay in the CEM

Check you have power at the foglamp, if good, then bulb has gone.
Otherwise, suspect relay in CEM

Have had that happen on another car, and both the fog lights failed on my v70 earlier this year after it had been unused in France for 18months.
