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?

Do you have a sport front bumper or a regular bumper? An alternative would be LED fog lights that replace the entire stock housing and fit OEM, look OEM and match the HID headlights very well. I had them on my previous coupe and they sell it for the sedan as well from The Retrofit Source, see below.

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

I'm looking into also changing out my fogs. Seems the previous owner had lots of stuff fly into it on the road, so its a very loose housing. I want to keep the housing but change it to LED and the Lens. I currently own a 2012 g37xS sedan.

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. Anyone have experience buying from retrofit source? They seem to have a lot of nice options...

That should be the only place where you buy your HID needs and other lighting accessories. They are the best and highly reputable.

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.

So the linchpin on this upgrade is the lifespan of a $10 bulb?

OK. That's solid reasoning.

G_Luv

Uhh, when the replacement bulbs cost $100+ and a conversion kit more than that, yes?

It's not a pressing need, so it can wait.

AFAIK, replacement fog bulbs cost less than $10. Where are you buying $100 H11 bulbs?

My point is, do whatever you want, whenever you want... but I'm pretty sure there's no cost equivalency consideration here.

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

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.

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.
