2021 SX Replace the fogs and rear signals with LED

[Kevin Smith]

I figured I'd convert the last of the halogen bulbs over to LED on the '21 Niro EV SX Touring.

The first bit of research was a fail and I got the wrong bulbs, so this time I looked at what was in there stock before ordering more.

Turns out the Fog lights are H4B (9006) and for some reason they had 1157 in the turn signal sockets. Which is odd because all that bulb does is turn signal, no running tail lights at all. I wish I had taken a pic of the socket. If it's an actual 1156 socket maybe they're using 1157 bulbs to double up on the filaments being lit.

Does anyone have any further info or experience on why they would use 1157 bulbs in the turn signals?

I've ordered 1157, but if they don't work correctly I won't be surprised lol.

These are what I ordered:

I should get them tomorrow so I'll report back how it goes.

Signal lights work perfectly.

Unfortunately the fogs trip canbus and give a check fog light error. They did work, but I'm not living with an amber ! in my dash lol

I'll try these:

And report back my findings

The rear signal sockets are indeed 1157 sockets, but they only have one side contact and the ground of the base, so the second filament of the bulb is never used.

I'll give that some thought if the second set don't work. I'd rather have 6000k over 6500k.

OUCH! $140 CAN. maybe not.

New fog bulbs in and they didn't trip any errors. They're really quite bright as well! I'm happy with both sets, and that I have 100% LED now

At the end of the day, what bulbs did you use for the fog lights and the signals? would you mind including links?
