anyone know where I can get a set? i'm looking for more wattage than the standard 55w but can't find anywhere except for piaa rally bulbs at £56 each!

preferably 100w bulbs?

If I am not wrong the fogs uses H11s...

you could be right! i just checked the flip-chart thing in Halfords which tells you which bulb code you need for your car.

it said H7 but it is likely to be wrong.

(i am talking about the standard foglights under the bumper)

As far as I am aware, the front foglights, like the main and dipped beams, are all H7. But, according to the user manual, it's a dealer visit to replace a bulb in the front fogs. So, if you intend to replace 'em yourself, please do let me know how easy it was and how long it took.

I've replaced my main and dip bulbs with the Philips Vision plus that won the Autoexpress tests, and they're great. But I haven't dared tinker with my fogs....

Good luck!

I just happen to be holding, a front fog lamp unit with bulb in my hand as I read this post.
Picked it up from the dealer today, one of mine is cracked.......

Anyway the bulb in the unit is a Philips H11 LL and if you look on www.powerbulbs.co.uk
It shows the H11 style bulbs...... Hope this helps..... Just for your info I've got a 2003 Cooper S, Don't know if they changed the style on the different models or productions...
