Is it strange that my car uses h3 for dipped and h1 for fog? It's normay other way around. All marks are in right place for bulls to fit right. And the headlight comes out the end round glass not where the side light is placed. As in halfords the book says it's wrong.

Not strange at all, I guess you have Kioto lamps in yours.

Kioto use H3 for dipped beam and Bosch use H1. I'm not sure about the fog lights but I'm pretty sure my pre-ford (striped) fogs are H1 :dontknow:

Pre ford/striped fogs are H3, of that I'm certain.

Not sure about the post ford fogs (clear), I've yet to take mine apart but I think they're H1.
