September 2020 - Continued - Fog Lamp Bulb Replacement
RH fog lamp accessible only after removing the bumper. Hindered by the windscreen washer tank. LH can be accessed by removing fender lining.
5-1/2 year old local fog lamp. Our longest surviving unit. Third unit. Rusted, but not as badly as expected.
Took some time and effort to open as everything including the screws were rusted and stuck. And also a good amount of Rust Off.
The conked bulb. Phillips H3. Survived 5+ years. The unbranded bulb came with it wouldn't have survived a month or two.
Got Osram Classic H3 55W. Surprisingly cheap at ₹ 43.00. Made in India. (Phillips was ₹ 130.00/piece and was made in Korea).
Installed bulb and the pling moment . The frame wasn't fitting in any way. Used the pliers to hammer it into place and hit the glass and broke it
Installed as such in any way.
