Nad834 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 You need H16 TYPE 2. If you don't have the steering fog lights. H11 don't fit. And regular H16 are a different base. Osram has there own version of H16 (known in the aftermarket light world as H16 type 2, but officially osram h16 64219) that are different than the regular H16 which aren't right angle and have a different base. They only appear in toyotas and subarus. Jdm astar sells LEDs bulbs in h16 type 2. I'm running the new fog Led bulbs by them. These are what I have, there awesome https://www.jdmastar.com/1g-2200-lumens-h16-type-2-cree-led-fog-light-bulbs.html?search=H16%20type%202&description=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnetman Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I was wondering if you all had any ideas on how to make adjustments to the fog lights after replacing with LED bulbs. I put in H11 Auxbeam F-16 Series and they are really bright, so I was wanting to aim them downward to offset the brightness factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Just realize that since the fog lights are close to the road any downward directed light will be reflected on the road surface disturbing other drivers. This means that directing them has to take this into account as well as using them during the right conditions - which is fog. Full daylight is fine too, but don't use them in rain. Sometimes you see yellow fog lights, and the point is that the single color is less disturbing for other drivers. A single color light is easier to separate out for the human eye. It's also not reflected back to the driver as much as white light when you drive in foggy conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnetman Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Thank you MrCobbs for the picture, that is very helpful! And thank you for welcoming me to the forums. I'm all new to Subaru and car forums. I am also thinking about tinting the fog lights to reduce the light a bit without having switch back to the ultra dim, yellow halogens. ehsnils- I try to keep my fog lights off unless it is foggy but my new Legacy has the steering responsive fog lights and I do not want to blind other drivers. I want make sure they are aimed properly as well. I am going to look into tinting for the fog light housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2oiroc Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 You "need" H16 bulbs if you don't have the Steering Responsive Foglights and "need" H11 bulbs if you do have SRF. IIRC, it's based on the housing and the wattage of the bulbs, one being plastic/ABS and the other being a metal housing for the H11. this is 100% correct. h11 bulbs do not fit into h16 housings. xenondepot insisted h11's were correct for my 2015 limited without srf's and there was no way to get them in. they refused to send me the correct bulbs and told me to modify the h11's to get them to fit. paypal took care of it and i put these in. they match my 5,000k hid's and very bright. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011480N3K/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA_MAXX Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 n2oiroc. I have a 15, premium, w\o SRF. It did originally have H16 installed. I'm currently using H11, LEDs from XD. Mine fit without issues. The only difference between H11 & H16 is the wattage of a regular incandescent bulb. Even the link above from "upsater" from amazon, is for H8/H11/H16.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk IIRC, there are two types of fog lamps used on the 6th gen. There is an angled type used on the models with EyeSight which is can be replaced with the Toyota Oval type XB LED fog lamps from Morimoto. I believe the non-EyeSight models used a flat type fog, and I cannot recall if the normal Subaru type XB LED fog lamps work or if it is a different model.
