About part number 7406365

A fog light is an exterior lamp mounted low down on the front bumper. It belongs to the vehicle's lighting system and connects to the main wiring loom. When switched on, it casts a wide, low beam of light onto the road ahead to improve visibility in heavy fog, mist, or falling snow without creating glare for the driver.

To ensure this is the correct item for your vehicle, you must check the part number on your original unit. The manufacturer part number for this light is 7406365. You will usually find this number stamped or printed on the plastic casing on the back or underside of the lamp housing. Matching this exact number is the only way to confirm it will fit.

Front fog lights are commonly replaced after receiving damage from stone chips, road debris, or low-speed parking impacts that crack the lens or housing. Moisture entering a damaged unit can also cause electrical failure. When replacing this lamp, you may need a new bulb, replacement mounting clips, or fixings to secure it safely to the bumper.

About this kind of part: fog lamps

A fog lamp is a small sealed unit set into the lower corner of a front bumper, below the main headlamp. Its beam is wide and flat and cut off sharply at the top, which is what stops it reflecting back off fog, and that pattern is why it cannot be substituted with any other kind of lamp. On many cars the same housing also provides the cornering light that illuminates the direction the wheels are turned, and on some it is a daytime running light as well.

Why people replace one

  • A stone has broken the lens, which is almost inevitable on a lamp mounted this low and this far forward.
  • The housing has cracked or the mounting tabs have snapped in a light knock, because the fog lamp sits exactly where a bumper takes a kerb or a post.
  • Water has got into the unit through a failed seal and the lens mists up or the lamp has corroded internally.
  • The lens has clouded and yellowed from stone blasting and road salt.
  • The lamp has been removed for a bumper repair and the tabs were broken getting it out.

Fitting it

  • Most fog lamps are reached from behind the bumper cover, sometimes through the wheel arch liner and sometimes only with the bumper off.
  • They are held by two or three screws into a carrier, or clipped into a surround that is itself screwed to the bumper.
  • The aim is adjustable on most units and is set low and level. A fog lamp aimed upwards defeats its own purpose and dazzles.
  • The surround or finisher around the lamp is usually a separate part, and it is often what was broken rather than the lamp itself.

Making sure it is the right one

  • Match the part number. Within one model there are commonly a plain fog lamp, one that also provides a cornering light, and a diode version, and they are not interchangeable.
  • Count the connector pins and compare the block with your own lamp. A lamp with extra functions has extra wires.
  • Check the lens marking against your own. It records the approval and the beam type, and a lamp of the wrong type is not a legal substitute.
  • Compare the mounting arrangement: some clip into a surround and some screw to a carrier, and the two cannot be swapped.

What to look for in the photographs

A Part number — On a label or moulded into the back of the housing.
B Lens marking — Etched into the lens: the approval and the beam type. Compare it with the marking on your own lamp.
C Connector — Count the pins. A plain fog lamp, one with a cornering light and a diode unit all differ here.
D Mounting tabs — The tabs or screw bosses that hold the lamp. These snap easily and are the most common hidden fault.
E Lens surface — Look across the lens at an angle. Stone pitting on a lamp this low shows in a raking light and disappears in a flat one.
F Seal and housing — The joint where the lens meets the housing, and the back cover. Water enters where these have been disturbed.
