Light Bulb Help!!!

Hello Guys,

I took out my fog light bulbs and my low beam light bulbs earlier. I want to put them back but forgot which bulbs goes for what part. Both fog and low beam have the same wattage which is 55 W and both are the same size H 11. The only difference is the color of the label. One is blue and the other is green.

I thought there wouldn't be any difference so I installed them back yesterday and went on my trip. Night driving seem to be darker, and the roads are harder to see. I don't know if there are any differences in the bulbs even though they're the same wattage. When I looked at the bulbs. The ones with the Blue label looks bigger and more round.

Now I am totally lost. Can any of you tell me which color label goes where, or hints to install the right bulbs to the right places?
Thanks!!!

it shouldnt make a difference. both low beams and fogs use the same bulbs.. if you did switch them, there really shouldnt be a difference as both are most likely used for the same amount of time.. it might just be in your head.

you couldve cracked teh bulb? Did u touch teh bulb with your fingers? This happened to me before. The oils in my finger cause the bulb to crack which reduced the light output ALOT. You should check if they are cracked or blown. PS. Dont touch the glass part, if you do clean it off with clean paper towel

They are they same, No difference. Its all in your head. And if by label you mean the plastic cover on the back of the bulb, The green one most likely came from your headlight.
