Default What are you guys using for LED bulbs (9140) in the stock fog light housing

I have a 2013 FX4 with the factory HID's and I'm looking for a simple plug and play bulb for the FOG LIGHTS to match my HID's.

To be honest I'm not even that concerned with them being brighter than stock, I just want them to be a white color instead of the factory dull halogen yellow.

As I said, I know the bulb size, just curious if anyone has any pictures of LED bulbs you are using and if you like them.


Thanks in advance.

The HID housings are not set up correctly to reflect LED lights. A whiter HID bulb will be in the 4700K to 6000K range.

Wow, I'm sorry, I just read my title and I left out a key word.

I'm looking for LED bulbs for the Fog lights, not to replace my HID headlights.

I'll see if I can edit it.

I need the same thing. I have a 2014...Same lighting setup as yours and the yellow fog lights look bad against the bright white headlights.

I tried 3 different bulbs myself before giving up. People on this site even said they would be a great match and they weren't even close. True yellow (3000k or so) bulbs looked good as a contrast though.

I ultimately put the Morimoto fog light replacements and the Morimoto 5500k HID bulbs to replace the crappy stock ones. Now everything matches and the fogs actually project out to the side and fill in where the stock ones never could.

Hmm, thanks for sharing your experience. I'm not totally opposed to replacing the housings, I just didn't really want to at this point.

I installed these in my fogs a couple weeks back. I use them as my DRL as well.

I love them. Direct replacement, bright, and match my switchbacks and other 6000K lights perfectly. And cheap on top of that.

I went to Diode Dynamics and bought the H10/6000k bulbs, $40.00 for the pair. Color is perfect and took 10 minutes total to swap out.

Yellow tinted light cuts through fog better than bright white light. I don't know if where you live you have fog, but here along the coast, we get fog pretty regularly and the yellow tinted light from the fog lights helps a lot.
