Default LED cubes in Foglight

So I'm thinking of replacing my foglights with some LED cubes. From my understanding the size I will need are 3" cubes. Next question is I want to wire them up to my stock fog light ****. To do so is this the connector I will need?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/WIRE-PIGTAIL-FEMALE-9008-H13-ONE-HARNESS-CERAMIC-REPLACE-PLUG-HALOGEN-HID-SOCKET-/131404075248?fits=Make%3AFord%7CModel%3AF-150&hash=item1e984b10f0&vxp=mtr
Also If you have done this mod yourself feel free to post up some pictures of yours, I wouldnt mind seeing them. It seems white ones are hard to find and the ones that I have found are super expensive. Im thinking Ill just order some black ones and paint or plasti dip them white. Any other input or help is welcomed!

Thanks guys

No, you need a 9005 connector.

Ya I'm just going to go with some eBay cubes for like $60-$70. The few people I asked on instagram didnt use the mounts they just drilled a hold for the bolt & tightened it down. Thats the route I'm going to go rather than spending another $60 for mounts

Stock fog lights are 9005/H10, Headlights are 9008/H13. I know you are not replacing your headlights with cubes?

Rigid's SAE compliant (used to be called DOT approved) Dually fog lights are a great addition. They don't scatter like the flood or spot Dually.

I installed them in an opened fog housing so that I could retain the factory adjustment to insure that I could get them 100% aimed correctly. Here's my writeup.

I can't justify spending $300 on cube lights. I would rather just spend $60 on an eBay brand. I have HID headlights plus a 30" light bar up front so I'm not worried about the output difference between the rigid & eBay brand cubes. They are both a better alternative than the stocks

The reason for the SAE rigids is that they have a cut off like halogen so that they have rectangular beam pattern and dont blind everyone in front of you
