FAQs

What type of bulb is the Quinton Hazell QBL566?

The Quinton Hazell QBL566 is a P21/4W bulb with a BAZ15d base, designed for use as a rear fog light.

What voltage and wattage is this bulb?

This bulb operates at 12 Volts and has a rated power of 21 Watts.

How do I know if this bulb fits my car?

You should use the vehicle make and model tool provided on the product page to check for compatibility. If still unsure, contact the seller with your vehicle's specific details.

Can I use this bulb for other lighting functions?

The QBL566 is specifically designed as a rear fog light bulb. While it might physically fit other sockets, it is intended for this specific function and may not be suitable or legal for other uses.

What does 'BAZ15d' refer to?

BAZ15d refers to the base design of the bulb, indicating the number and type of electrical contacts (two contacts with an offset locating pin) and the diameter of the base, ensuring it fits correctly into compatible light fixtures.

What is the advantage of a rear fog light?

A rear fog light is brighter than a standard tail light and is intended to make your vehicle more visible to following traffic in very poor visibility conditions, such as dense fog, heavy rain, or snow.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not light up after installation

Ensure the bulb is correctly seated in the socket. Check the vehicle's fuse for the rear fog light circuit. Verify that the vehicle's wiring and light switch are functioning correctly.

Bulb flickers intermittently

Check for a loose connection in the bulb socket or wiring. Ensure the bulb base is clean and free from corrosion. A faulty light switch could also be the cause.

Premature bulb failure

Avoid touching the glass of the new bulb with bare hands during installation. Ensure the bulb is the correct type and wattage for the vehicle's application; using an incorrect bulb can lead to overheating and failure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Check:

Before purchasing, it is essential to use the vehicle make and model tool provided to confirm that the QBL566 bulb is compatible with your specific car. If you remain unsure, contact customer support with your vehicle details for assistance.

Installation:

  1. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is switched off and the light housing has cooled down.
  2. Access the rear fog light assembly according to your vehicle's manual.
  3. Carefully remove the old bulb by gently twisting and pulling it from its socket.
  4. Insert the new Quinton Hazell QBL566 bulb, ensuring it is fully seated and aligned correctly with the BAZ15d base.
  5. Reassemble the light housing.
  6. Test the rear fog light to confirm it is working.

Care:

Bulbs are typically maintenance-free. Avoid touching the glass part of the bulb with bare hands, as oils from your skin can cause premature failure. Use a clean cloth if handling is necessary. Keep the exterior of the light housing clean for optimal light output.
