    Anyone running LED bulbs in their 2012/13? I've tried three pairs and only one will fit. Seems the hole in the reflector is really small on redesigned front end. I'm using them as DRL's so not worried about output per se, just color to match my Sylvania ZXE's which are 4,200k (LOVE these BTW).

    This is the only one so far that will clear the opening:

    Unfortunately, the color is 7000k which is way too blue. Looking for something around 5k-6k max.

    Was going to try some of these 5k V-Leds since they look pretty skinny but of course they're out of stock:

    Anyone successfully used another led bulb in the fog?

    TIA

    Just use the appropriate Sylvania ZXE in the fogs that's what I did. Looks good.

    I thought about that. However, with an average life.expectancy of a year or so, I doubt they'd last even half that long if always on as a DRL.
