How do you remove a 6 volt light bulb from "sun coast classics" fog lamp?

Kurt in NJ · 07-09-2015, 08:26 PM

You will need to post pictures to get the best results ----I don't know what a "sun coast classic" fog lamp looks like and it doesn't come up on google, many have a screw on the bottom, some on the center back, but some just snap together---is it a pre-focus bulb with 3 little pins that engage into slots in the base flange of the bulb----or is it a small "seal beam"

I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how on here and I believe it is a sealed beam

I once had a G.E. bulb removal kit, in a tin box. It contained short pieces of surgical tubing, in various sizes. Have you ever had a bulb go "CRUNCH" in your fingers?--+*#^%$%^^!!!---Gregg once hit my OLD, CHEEP, BRITTLE, Massey Ferguson hard hat, with a Dead Blow Hammer, it TOTALLY SHATTERED, now you know why I tipe FUNNY!

The pictures don't show any screws, but they also don't show all the surface --if there are no screws it either snaps off, or has a push and turn, once the rim is off usually the seal beam is held to the rim with bent wire spring clips ---look close, use plastic trim wedge and try some prying ----keep the post active, add more pictures---some of the whole car to generate interest

Looks like a "H3" bulb. Take put the little screw, if it is a H3 bulb it will have a square corner notch on one side, semicircle notch on the other

When buying this bulb is it one component as shown or is it just the bulb which is soldered to the small wires

Kurt in NJ · 07-16-2015, 08:04 PM

the bulb will come with a pigtail with a male spade connecter ---like the section of whitewire on your bulb

it looks like the terminal was cut off and connected directly ----if you put a connecter on the car part of the wire it will be easy to change next time

I searched some---

Re: 6 volt H3 bulbs

I have seen those in the bulb area of the flashlights in sporting goods of walmart. They look like regular h3 bulbs but are 6 volts.

$6 @ Amazon

If you are using stock electric system look for 35 watt, if you have alternator, larger gauge wires, 55watt headlights and 55 watt fog carry a spare belt

It's harder to find the h3's that are 6 volt and not 12 volt.
