OK! Here's the scoop! I pulled one of my fog light bulbs. I managed to get at them without taking anything apart. My skinny arms were just barely abble to fit way up in there.
The fog light bulbs are Marked "9140 / 37W".
The off road bulbs are marked "HB3 / 9005 / 65W"
They are not interchangable!
The 9140 has a coating on the end and the 9005 does not. Also The bulbs will not fit into holes, the tabs do not line up.
The "HB4 / 9006 / 55W" will not fit anywhere on the H3. Not only will it not fit into the holes, the plug will not fit (there is only 1 tab in the socket)
The only bulb that I could find that will work besides the "9140" is the "H10 / 9145 / 42W".
There is also a "9045 / 45W" and a "9040 / 48W"
They look the same, but the filliment runs left to right instead of up and down like the "9145" and "9140"
Why do they have to make things so difficult?
So after spending alot of trial, error, time, and money, I learned alot about light bulbs!
Now I am sharing it with you all.
So that was your lighting lesson for today.
By the way, I could have just listened to Webb70 to begin with!
