It bugs me on my MKS that the headlights are HID's, but the fog lights are old school yellow bulbs.

Has anyone had any luck swapping the stock bulbs with either HID's or LED's?  I'd prefer LED as I don't think they require a ballast unless I'm mistaken.

Check out vLED's site for some options.  For some LED lights, the higher lumens ones, they do have a separate power source/ballast, so you would have to find a mounting spot just like with HIDs.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

the 2010 MKS uses an H11 for fog lights, should be easy to find an LED replacement:

VLEDs offering for H11:

For some reason, Diode Dynamics does not list LINCOLN in their selection, but again, just look for H11.

I have used this site on my other cars and they only deal with Phillips and Osram bulbs which are one of the leading edge in bulb manufactures in the industry and clearly outshine the competition,you can probably find them cheaper on ebay/amazon and puts Hella to shame.  Z     http://www.powerbulbs.com/us/store/category/car-bulbs/fitting/h11

I ended up going the total ricer route.  I picked up some Philips H11 bulbs, old school halogens (like stock) but they have a blue coating on them to mimic 5000k.

Nice!  Pics/part numbers please.  My preference is still to go with 3000K ish lamps so they actually serve as fog lamps.

Yeah, these won't offer much as far as being fog lights, but they should look good.

I agree yellow are used for  fog lights because the light won't reflect up to your eyes at much and stay towards the ground.
