    Default 2018 RT Foglights

    Hi guys!
    It seems that Can Am has changed something in the wiring for the foglights. The connector no longer fits the normal LED replacement bulbs.
    Does anybody happen to know what bulb they are using now? A picture that shows the difference between the two different types of connectors would also be greatly appreciated!

    Bob, does it call out the bulb type in the owner manual?

    I would think suppliers of after-market LED bulb replacements would be on top of this.

    According to my research. The 2018 fog light bulb is a H8. That's the same as previous years. So you are going to have to be more specific in what does not fit. Picture maybe?

    My Dealership tells me that the wiring harness has changed, and the bulbs have a different (wider) plug...
    I'm just looking for some verification, and some pictures, so that I can get some LED bulbs to fit...

    Default Little checking.....

    According to the breakdown on cheapcylceparts.com there are the H-8 and the HB-3 bulbs being used in the US models... would have to see to confirm but if not one then the other.....
