What is the model number of the Emgrand GL fog light bulb?

The fog light model for the Emgrand GL is H7. Fog lights are a special type of lighting fixture. The fog light head is made of a special flash head, with a reflective glass in front of the flash tube, and all the light output is diffused light reflected by the reflector. They are used to illuminate the road during driving in rainy or foggy weather. Because visibility is low in foggy conditions, the driver's line of sight is limited. Here are some precautions for replacing fog lights: 1. Installation: Perform this when the engine is off and cool. Before replacing the fog light bulb, to avoid being burned by components in the engine compartment during replacement, ensure the vehicle is turned off and in a cool state, then open the hood. Wear gloves during replacement to protect your hands and facilitate operation. 2. Disconnect the power socket of the bulb. 3. After disconnecting the power socket, remove the waterproof cover behind the bulb. 4. Remove the bulb from the reflector. The bulb is usually fixed by a wire clip, and some models may have a plastic base. 5. Place the new bulb into the reflector, align it with the fixing position, and push the wire clips on both sides inward to secure the new bulb in the reflector. 6. Reattach the waterproof cover, plug in the bulb power socket, and the replacement operation is complete.
Last year, I drove a Geely Emgrand GL to commute, and always felt the lighting was insufficient on foggy days. Later, I discovered the fog light bulb was burnt out. I checked the owner's manual and found the bulb model was H8. I bought a new H8 bulb and replaced it myself—the process was quite simple: first, open the cover under the front bumper, locate the fog light, unplug the connector, and twist the old bulb counterclockwise to remove it. When installing the new bulb, avoid touching the glass with your hands, as oil residue can shorten its lifespan. After testing, I noticed the light became much brighter, making driving in rainy conditions much safer. Replacing a bulb is a small task, but it's important to check your lights regularly because fog lights can be lifesavers in low visibility. I also tried LED replacements—they're brighter but more expensive, while the original H8 bulbs are more reliable. Remember to glance at your fog light condition during routine maintenance; don’t wait until they fail to take action.
