2013 LED Fog Light Install
 
Just installed LED fog lights this past weekend and they look much better than the stock bulbs. Took about 30 minutes to install. Haven't tested them at night, but not really expecting big difference in performance. Just happy it matches the stock HID headlights now. I ordered the bulbs off Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Were you able to gain access through the wheel wells? Such as it is described in the manual?

That's the way I changed mine a couple years ago. Was pretty easy, once I figured out how they they went in. It's a great mod for the 2013's.

I actually have the bulbs but never tried installing them. Thought that one had to remove the splash shield under the car. Wheel wells make more sense. I'll try it in the Spring.
Thanks Mike...

Looks great. I put some on mine to match my HID headlights. The color matching in the evening makes the car look cleaner. If only I could get brave enough to change the approach lights under the side mirrors to match as well.

I did not go through the wheel well. I removed the bolts from the front of the splash shield and then was able to pull the front down to reach the bulbs. Was relatively easy.

Yoder - The Amazon link says these bulbs don't fit my 14 ES 350. I also saw the fog light bulbs are H16, not H11. What's up? Thanks!

BTW - My low beams are 4500k HIDs from Morimoto that I installed last week. I'm guessing they should still look okay with 5000k fog lights. Couldn't find a 4500k Cree LED.

Amazon says they don't fit the 13 ES 350 either but they are H11 bulbs, I ordered them and they fit. Not sure why but says it doesn't fit.

So the bulb on the link fit your connector no problem? I guess it obviously did lol. I assume it will work in my 2014. The higher wattage of an H11 bulb shouldn't be a problem since LEDs produce very little heat.

BigRon12 Jan 27, 2017 03:17 AM

2014+ already have led fog lights...no need to do this.

Looks great OP!

Nice. I paid about 5 times that amount back in 2013 for the Phillips bulbs.
