I seem to be going through fog light globes on the coupe !
Last one lasted 3-4 weeks and it's not my daily driver.
I rekon they have only been turned on a dozen times ??
I did. Buy cheap eBay globes !!

Any ideas ?
Also can someone please tell me what globes are used for the front park lights ?

Can't find my manual anywhere.
Must of left it at the mechanics.

Welcome to 406 Coupe ownership.
Unsure why you're fog lamps are not kicking on - as I can honestly say that in 17 years of owning mine, I have never replaced those particular lamps.
There's a Peugeot app on android which has all the details in it on bulbs etc, however the park lights are a 12V 5W like these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/pcr/Best-Rated-Car-Dome-Light-Bulbs-Reviews/4920143031

Same bulbs are used throughout the car on rear plates, door courtesy lamps, etc. etc. so grab a stash.
 
Thanks guys
I haven't checked the globe yet , it may just be loose but I have spare globes for the fog/ driving lights.
I'm thinking I may check the wiring as well.
Shouldn't blow globes so
Quick.
My last pug(205 gti ) had same bulbs in everything for the 15 years a had it except a upgrade on the low/ high.
And they all came with the car so who knows how old they were.

The park lights work but all the other globes have been changed to bright white and they are yellowish so I want to change them for the look
Cheers .

Also I did put cheap eBay globes in.
Would that make a diff ?
Do the Cheepies blow out easy ?
They were $9 for two on eBay.
