Pretty sure I've seen other treads confirm it is a 9006.

Talking

They are telepathically driven... just focus intently on it while staring at the headlight control or RTFM.

9006 = Hb4

HB4 and 9006 are interchangeable.

I do wish that Honda would publish the bulb code numbers in their owners manuals instead of just wattage or candle power figures. The reality is that when a bulb goes out it may not be practical to see the dealer - or very cost effective for that matter.

The fogs are activated by the knurled ring switch on the headlight stalk.
That is covered in the owners manual you know. :tflamer: :toothless

To turn them on, you would have to cross the border and buy a U. S. model, because you extreme northerners get daytime running lights instead of fog lamps.

replace the original fog lamp bulbs

night and day comparison when replacing with the PIAA Xtreme White or Solaris 9006 bulb

the original looked so "orange" compared to the PIAAs.

now, the color of the fog lamp's beam is "white" too but not as bright as the hids.
