Replacing stock fog lights with LED
How hard is this? Can you just do a straight bulb replacement, or does the whole lamp need to be replaced?
Alternatively: do they sell tint film you can overlay to change the hue of the fog lights to something which more closely matches the Xenon headlights on a '13 Sedan?

The link above is for a round fog light which may be your application if you have a regular G37x bumper. The on I needed for my coupe had a slanted lens, below are pic of it when installed

Goonz-
I have the stock non-sport bumper. I'm looking for a relatively cheap/easy fix (if such a thing exists).

I replaced my stock non-sport coupe bumper fog lights with LEDs from Diode Dynamics. If I remember correctly it wasn't bad. I just went through the wheel well, same as if you were replacing the headlight bulbs.

I hear ya, I mean you can swap out the bulb with that of an LED bulb as seen below and keep the stock housing. I figured replacing the whole housing is a clean and fresh look with a proper and functional beam pattern where as the stock housing is really meant for a halogen. Below are some options for LED bulbs

Thanks. I've decided to hold off on this for now. I'll do it once one of my stock fog lights goes out. Good to hear retrofit source is legit, I'll keep that in mind down the road.

For those wondering, we have a complete LED housing located here on our site:

This is the ideal option for the fog light location IMO

I mostly am opting to put it off because it's not that big of a deal, imo. I don't live in the Scottish moors or anything so this is mostly a cosmetic thing. That makes it pretty low priority for me.

Send me a link then, if you're finding them cheaper somewhere. I'm just starting to do research, most sites recommend replacing the housing as well as the bulb. Retrofit, for instance, sells an Infiniti kit for $170. I realize it's not that pricey, but I don't have time to DIY so i need to factor in labor as well.

It's a 1 hour install for beginner's.
