Hi there!
presumably you mean headlight bulb? on my Xantia mk2 the headlight (main and dip) and foglight bulbs are all h1,s
easily available from motor factors etc! they usually come packed in pairs but i would imagine you can get singles as well!
Hope that helps!
Regards
Steve.

Front Fog Lights you may find them called...

They are a H1 type bulb but with a Flying lead...

Lever the surrounding trim forwards VERY carefully.. It doesn;t come away, it just clips forward, but its likely to be rusted badly.. Once you have the surrounding trim away, the fog lamp should lever out very simmilar to the way you would remove the centre air vents insde the car...

Get a torch, shine it towards the side of the fog light through the grill
You'll see part of the metal frame like a pad, push this with a screw driver and it will lever the fog light forward, then you can remove it without breaking the plastic pips on it's sides.

Hi again!
Slight miss understanding regarding fog or driving lamps methinks!! might be worth mentioning that on a mk2 you cant remove fog lamp to change bulb without taking front bumper off, i have changed fog bulbs on my mk2 by removing indicator lens and reaching down to undo bulb holder (you need small arms though) also the bulbs on mine are h1,s but dont have a lead on them, i.e they plug straight into bulb holder!! wasn,t sure if you are doing it on a mk1 or mk2 (or am i just being dim!!) no pun intended lol!!!
Regards
Steve
