Which Ford Escape model years does this cover?

What headlight bulb does a 2012 Ford Escape use?

H13 (9008) dual-beam halogen for the low beam and H13 (9008), same dual-filament bulb as low beam for the high beam. Trims with factory LED or HID projectors use a sealed assembly instead and are not bulb-serviceable.

What fog light bulb does a 2012 Ford Escape take?

5202 (where equipped).

Can you put LED bulbs in a 2012 Ford Escape?

Physically, yes, LED replacements exist in every common base. Whether they work well depends on the housing: a reflector housing designed around a halogen filament scatters LED output into oncoming traffic instead of down the road. Projector housings tolerate the swap far better. Some vehicles also flag the lower current draw as a bulb-out fault.
