is300 fogs question
My car is 2002 and the bulbs are hb4, they twist into place like most or the other normal bulbs, does that mean they are the older type? If so, do the newer type fit??
Apparently there's more than one type, with regards to bulbs, can anyone confirm what the difference between 'old type' and 'new type' and also, what year they changed?

The newer type is H3 and has a waterproof plastic cap and a metal spring clip to hold the bulb in.

The newer type is H3 and has a waterproof plastic cap and a metal spring clip to hold the bulb in.

You could always take the foglight off and just tip the water out and dry it out indoors for now, and if you really want they can actually be taken apart like the headlights and sprayed black.
