    fog light switch- bulb

    Just bought box of 10 bulbs 12v 1.2 watt for £4.94 from Bradford Audi.
    Problem now, after replacing fog light switch bulb all other switches look dim.
    Can't be assed replacing rest until they've completeley failed.
    I think it's a good price for 10, and I'm sure I'll use them all!

    hmm 1.2w is too much. try touching the button after some time of driving. it will be hot as as hell.

      Yep, that particular bulb should be 0.8w. I've just replaced mine.
      If it's the push-in capless type the part no is 8A0 919 062.

          Lets get this right!
          When I removed fog light switch cover, threre were two bulbs. the top bulb on mine had blown.
          Please can someone tell me what voltage and wattage both these bulbs are?
          Thanks.

            Bighter bulbs will slowly melt the the red plastic part of the switch cover making it light up white. BTDT I think .8w sounds right, i used 1.2w which were a good bit brighter.

              I'm using 1,2W on mines and I think they are fine. Only problem is that I cant find 1,2W for seat warming switch so they look dim.

                Thanks chaps, 0.8 is the wattage I'll be using.
                I've worked to hard on this car to melt it now.
