LED H13 Replacement Bulbs

I have two 2012's and one 2007 Mustang. I love the look, feel, and performance of the LED H13 replacement bulbs but I get a lot of radio noise with them. Has anyone found a good LED bulb without radio noise or loss of radio signal with these replacements. I know the extra noise is coming from the fan on these units. I guess the other question would be have you found a good noise suppression unit when adding these lights? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Afraid not! Diode Dynamics discontinued offering H13 LED kits several years ago... They only offer LED fog light kits available in H10 bulb sizes.

  • STREET USE OF LED BULBS

Street Use of LED Bulbs

Within the United States, most automotive lighting equipment is regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Lighting equipment that is regulated by DOT must comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108, in order to be used legally on public roads.

Headlights and headlight bulbs are regulated by DOT, and must comply with the requirements of FMVSS108. There is currently no provision within these regulations to legally replace halogen headlamp bulbs with retrofit LED bulb replacements. As a result, retrofit LED bulbs may not be used in headlights on public roads in the United States.

Fog lamps and fog light bulbs are not regulated by federal safety standards. When used in compliance with any applicable state or local laws, LED fog light bulbs are considered street-legal for use in the United States.

Based on these regulations, headlamp retrofit LED bulbs are not available for purchase from Diode Dynamics for street use in the United States. We recognize that certain vehicles can be used exclusively off of public roads (off-street), for recreational, utility, or transport purposes. In the United States, only vehicles that are exclusively used off-street may purchase and use LED headlamp retrofit bulbs from Diode Dynamics.

Only vehicles which are strictly and exclusively limited to off-street use qualify as off-street vehicles. Mixed use (sometimes driven on public roads, and sometimes driven off-street) do not qualify as off-street use vehicles. If a vehicle is driven on public roads at all, the vehicle does not qualify as off-street use. If the vehicle has registration and license plates, it would not be considered an off-street use vehicle. Please review the following vehicle uses and permissible use of LED retrofit headlight bulbs:


  • Fog Lights: Bulbs not regulated by DOT. Street Legal, depending on state and local laws.
  • Street Vehicle Headlights (registered, used on public roads): Headlight bulbs regulated by DOT. Not legal for sale or use in the United States.
  • Mixed-Use Vehicle Headlights (registered, some use on public roads): Headlight bulbs regulated by DOT. Not legal for sale or use in the United States.
  • Off-Street Use ATV/UTV: Not regulated by DOT. Legal for sale and use.
  • Off-Street Use Snowmobile: Not regulated by DOT. Legal for sale and use.
  • Off-Street Use Agricultural Equipment: Not regulated by DOT. Legal for sale and use.
  • Off-Street Use Construction Equipment: Not regulated by DOT. Legal for sale and use.
  • Off-Street Use Racing Vehicle: Not regulated by DOT. Legal for sale and use.


Diode Dynamics makes products available for sale internationally. International customers should consult their own laws and regulations before purchase, to determine the appropriate and proper use of LED bulbs within their region.

I was Just Thinking John from Diode Dynamics Being a 2015 Mustang Owner Himself Could Share Some Knowledge Considering his Vocation. Be it Good or Bad News and Regardless of a Sale Being Involved!

The only aftermarket manufacturers that I'm aware of which continue to offer LED headlight/foglight kits for the Mustang equipped with H13/9008 sockets are from https://www.gtrlighting.com/gtr-ligh...h13?quantity=1 https://www.gtrlighting.com/gtr-lighting-csp-mini-led- bulbs-h13?quantity=1 https://www.headlightrevolution.com/...4_2?quantity=1 https://www.theretrofitsource.com/h1...H13?quantity=1 and https://www.headlightrevolution.com/...lbs?quantity=1

Perhaps John from Diode Dynamics can shed some light as to whether they still manufacture LED headlight kits which take H13/9008 sockets used for off-road purposes only? All I know for certain, is they stopped listing them for sale on their website for street usage several years ago!
