2013 GT fog lamp led bulbs?

Forgive me if i failed to search this properly, but im asking where can i find the 2013 gt fog lamp led bulbs?
Also my other questions is this, well i was driving on the highway the other day and a 2012 GT was behind me but with the "white" lights not the yellowish ones, he didn't have HIDs, he had regular lamps and fog lamps. But they had a white glow to them, and my question is do the 2013 fog lamp led bulbs fit a 2012 GT? Where could i find these bulbs, and where would i find the other bulb for the regular headlights as well? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

There not the HID lamps, but more so the light bulbs in them. They had that bright white to them, and i was wondering where i could get bulbs like that, for the fog lamps and regular lamps.

The 13' fogs are LED and much bluer than the stock HID's. More like the same brightness and color as the LED DRL strips.

If they weren't HID, they may have been similar to the Hoen Xenonmatch bulbs I have in my fogs. Those are the closest match to OEM HID bulbs I've found.

You can't easily retrofit the new LED fogs on a '10-12. They are smaller IIRC, the connectors are different, and they have a large heat sink on the back of them. Packaging and wiring are issues you'd have to overcome.

I looked nice and close at my fog lights the other day and was surprised to see a circuit board behind each bulb.

They're definitely LED, the owner's manual says so

But to install them, I think you're gonna need a complete fog lamp assembly, not just the bulbs ...

And since I was out taking some new pics of the car earlier today, I figured I'd snap a close-up of the LED fog lights and the circuit board behind the bulb

Does anyone know if the stock 2013 LED fit a 2012 halogen?

Like Diva said. the 13+ LED fog housings are much deeper and there are clearance issues on the 10-12 grilles without creating your own custom brackets.

I did an HID conversion and aimed the fogs lower down in order not to blind oncoming traffic.

We have several great LED options for those fog lights. Our XP80's will actually provide you with usable light output, along with the great appearance



It's a lot less expensive than retrofitting the factory LED assemblies IMO, and less complicated
