Foglight Bulbs on MY05, what's their wattage ?

Postby loweart » Wed Jan 28, 2009 12:20 pm

Hello Peoples,

I was wondering if someone here could clarify something for me in regards to the bulbs that are used for the foglights on my MY05 Liberty 3.0R.

I believe they use the H3 type bulb, but I'm unsure of what their rated wattage is ?

I realise that I can take all the plastic shields off to find out, but I would like to know before I start taking things apart so that I can order correct replacements without having to dis-assemble and re-assemble several times.

Can anyone help me in clarifying their wattage ?

Thanks in advance,
Lok

Lok, the Libs use the standard 55-watt for the H3 bulbs.

You might be able to get away with the 85-watt or the 100-watt bulbs, but I found those tend to make the wiring quite hot and could melt the wires or the connectors.

Thanks for information Arith :D

I thought they were 55watt but didn't want to take things apart to find out and put everything back just so I could drive down the road to get replacements to then have to pull everything apart again, so on, so on.

Muchly appreciated,

All the bulb types and wattages are listed in the back of the owners manual. If you don't have the owners manual, give me your e-mail address and I can scan the page(s) and e-mail it to you.
