Here is the car with the new headlight bulbs and diode dynamics fog light bulbs

As stated above diodes stuff fit perfectly but the HE LED headlight bulbs werent perfect but eventually got them to fit

what I like which is why I am keeping them is they match the fogs almost perfectly and its a beautiful bright white

That looks White (no bluish) to me, in those pictures.......and it looks Great!!

It is always nice to have matching lights up front, especially on a cool car!, well really, any car...

love them but you will need to change your main headlights unless you have the HID's


I went with

H13 Hi/Lo Dual Beam LED Headlight Conversion Kit

The lights match perfectly but the install wasnt simple as it should be

I had to play to get the 3 prongs from the bulb to fit the OEM connector. Its a tad off and it could be the batch of bulbs I got

they also wouldnt "click" in place on the OEM connector. One tab broke on the OEM snap connector so I just used zip ties to keep the connectors together. The light bulb however does match the new fog lights perfectly so I am keeping them
I apologise , maybe I'm just sluggish working midnight shift, but do I have to change my main headlights on my non - HID 08 to run those H13 Hi/Lo Dual Beam LED headlights?

No you dont. If you have non HID headlamps like I have you can order these bulbs but you do have to be cautious on the install.

Pay particular attention on how the OEM bulb comes out, believe you rotate it counter clockwise about a 1/4 to a 1/3 turn and it pulls out rather easily.

The new bulb goes into the same slots but you have to work it a bit for it to get flush before you can turn it clockwise. Make sure you only turn the housing because the bulb will turn within the housing and will go futher than its suppose to. In other words once the housing is locked in place when you plug it into the headlamp and rotate it clockwise, the new housing will stop turning as does the OEM bulb, but the new bulb can rotate within the housing and you dont want that. The bulb power cord should be facing down at the 6 oclock position. Once you get the new bulbs in, the other problem i had is the electrical connectors werent totally lined up perfectly. I tried to force it and almost pushed out one of the OEM female connectors from the housing. I ended up looking at the alignment and moved the bulb male connectors slightly up.

Lastly, the snap tabs that holds the two pieces together and preventing them from coming out dont work well with the aftermarket bulb connector. OEM is fine but not these bulbs.

I broke one of the lock snap tabs and the other tab just wouldnt lock in place, so I zip tied them so they wouldnt come undone.

Now you might ask why did I go through so much aggravation. I love the color match between the diode dynamic fog light bulb and the headlamp bulbs. The low beam is excellent and the high beam as I have witnessed with other aftermarket products is pretty dam high and not sure yet how useful they will be

Zip ties keeping the connection secure
