Default L.E.D's in Non-L.E.D. H-D Fog Lamps?

Tried the search function but did not find an answer so here goes:

Who has replaced the bulbs only in their H-D Fog Lamps # 68913-98C with L.E.D.'s?

Is it possible? Has anyone done it?

If so, part numbers and sources please.

Thank you in advance.

I used the HD LED units, plug and play. I did it because the incandescent bulbs kept going off on potholes, the LED is a solid state source, less heat and brighter. Can´t remember the part number but I recorded a review on them, you can actually see how they look. There is a replacement from custom dynamics, also leds, less expensive but I´ve never seen those other than over the internet.

I'm still considering changing the headlamp for the HD leds unit too, mainly for matching the color in the light spectrum, but that one is much more of a luxury at $600+ USD

Excuse my english, it's not my native language.

Mimo.

I think both the passing lamps and headlamp (LEDs) are too futuristic in design, I really don´t care for their looks, but they are brighter and last longer. They take away the nostalgic style of the bike.... MHO.

Thanks for the info Mimo but what I'm actually looking for is an "L.E.D. bulb only" to retrofit into my existing H-D Fog Lamps. My existing lamps # 68913-98C look like this:

Has anyone done this conversion?

pfffttt¡!¡ Sorry Primo, do you know what kind of bulb do they have. I have those too (still in the box), I was gonna put white strobes inside (already did it for my friend's Road King) but I can't remember the bulb type those have inside, I've seen all kinds of LED solutions, replacements for almost every automotive incandescent ones at AutoZone.

Mimo.
