If I'm looking thing up properly on realeom etc, the lights should be H3 up to 2002/10, and then change to H11.
Both H3 and H11 lights seem to be 12v 55W.
But the PO maybe installed H11 lights?
Though I don't get it, H3 lights are so small, I don't know how they would even mount in the fog light housing...

Correct, the housings are totally different for the H3 bulbs and WAYYYYYYY BETTER light output, as they are Projectors and NOT reflectors, like after 2002/10. Its an upgrade for the LCI to put the older Projector fog lamps INTO the LCI,s BUT the only issue is the 4.8iS can't accept them because of clearance issues. They can for in a 4.4 and 3.0 perfectly tho. Ask me how I know
SOOOO MUCH better light output with a nice cut-off pattern.
OR, if you really want to keep the LCI for lamps, then go to Pick-n-pull on Barlow, Row 22 has a 2005 4.8iS and you can cut the wiring harnesses/connectors from IT and splice onto the factory LCI wiring but then you'd have the proper wiring connector for the reflective lamps (parts 63176920885 and 63176920886)
