    Just picked up my pip! It's like a moving entertainment box! First mod is to replace the yellow halogens in the fog light. Anyone know if they are h11 or h16? Seeing alot of mixed messages out there!

    Wellllll, I just checked the owners manual and it says h16. So definitively, the 2012 fog light bulb is an h16.

    If H16 is the same as H11 then yes. I've actually swapped out my PIP halogen fogs for H11 LEDs bulbs.

    Foglight IS an H11. For the record, the h16 does not fit. Even though the Manuel say h16!!! Just wasted 18.00 buying h16 that are worthless

    Yeah, the manual is wrong on this one. I almost bought H16 as well but after reading a few threads on here, other members did confirm it was H11.

    Link where to get matching temp fogs to the Advanced LED's and I'll reward you with a Like and a good job!

    It's almost shamefull to have the fog lights on in an advanced... I mean shit the damn DRL's look better....

    My LEDs fogs are very close to the LED headlights of the PIPA. I've tried 2 different types of brands but have not been able to find an exact match.

    Hit me up If you'd like to see what mine looks like in person. You're Not too far from me.

    should have believed you before I bought the h16! After I saw the manual I thought either A you were wrong or B they both worked.

    Oh well too bad it was final sale!

    WARNING WARNING WARNING!!!
    I did ultimately but h11's but THEY DIDN'T FIT THE HOLE!! Pay close attention when you buy them to make sure they 'look narrow' in diameter. I got some and they don't fit in the hole. Another 12 bucks down the drain.

    I just pulled out my stock fog light out of my 2012 Advanced PIP and the bulb says it's H16. They don't look like H16's though and look closer to H11. Is the bulb mislabeled too?

    :)I'm a big wheel and light freak. I was going to replace the factory fogs with something closer to the color of the LED headlights. Why do it? The LED DRLs look fantastic and I use them everyday. If I swapped out the fog bulbs, I'd never turn them on.
