Hi guys, I'm back in the UK for a while and was planning on buying some upgraded lights during my visit here.

Halfords had a Bosch booklet that states the standard fog light bulbs are H3 so that is what I got, but all the ones I see in the online guides are H10... can someone confirm which ones I need please!?!

Thanks in advance.

Toby, Giving those camels a break for a couple of weeks? wink. I don't fully understand the question (but don't know much anyway). You talk about "upgrading" the fog lights, but bought the "H3 standard ones"? What is the upgrade? e.g. Do UAE spec C6 Z06s have different/lower spec foglight bulbs to Euro and/or US spec C6s? Tried enquiring at any of these? Bauer-Millett, Claremont Corvette, Eurovettes or Ian Goss Services.

Presumably you looked at/checked you owners handbook before you left? I just looked at a handbook for a US 2007 C6 that I downloaded from the C6 Registry at the start of the year. Strangely (?) it lists the bulbs for all the other lights but not foglights (or has any instructions about how to change the foglight bulbs)

I am indeed giving the camels a break haha,

I also came to stock up on car cleaning goodies.

The bulbs in the fog lights are useless, so I wanted to put some better quality ones in, I bought H3 as per Bosche's book but when I read online every picture about "how to change the bulbs" has a bulb that has a ballast attached.

In short- before I go home I want to make sure the h3 bulbs I bought were the right ones because there is no returning them once I leave. I'll call those places you mentioned, thanks.

Just checked my C6 UK/Euro spec Owners Manual. Nothing in there about replacing fog light bulbs or bulb part# either.
