Need Help Finding A Bulb!

[jay dh]

just got a clear lens and having trouble finding a red bulb for the fog light.

im in swindon and ive been to Halfords who dont sell it and didnt know where i could get one. none on eBay.

i went to a local aftermarket bits and bobs place and they had red ones but the universal type which dont fit the yaris as the yaris has a narrow connector and the universal one had a round wider connector

where have people got their red fog light bulbs from? i know a couple havent bothered buying a red one

cheers

You could try your local Toyota dealer :)

i forgot to add, i dont want to pay through the roof for a bulb

i also didnt think toyota did it, as they use clear bulbs, u sure another toyota car has a red bulb that would fit that i cud use?

Just re read your original post.....I now see you have replaced the standard red foglamp lense for a clear one. Sorry I did not grasp that first time.

Could I suggest that you try one of the red lacquers that are available for bulbs....but I don't know how successful they are.

thanks

the red laquer is more of a last resort i think... duno where to get it though!

I think you will find that having a clear lense on a rear fog light is also illegal ..........but does it really matter?

Most T Sporters have incorporated the Foglights in the rear clusters and made the clear lense in the bumper another reverse light

[jay dh]

i know its illegal atm hence trying to resolve it

i didnt know most had made it a 2nd reverse light. ill prob end up getting the 6.99 bulb cover

cheers
