H11 (halogen, most trims); LED headlamps optional/standard on Titanium from the 2017 facelift for the low beam and 9005 (HB3) 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 Ford Fusion take? H10 or H16 (where equipped). ### Can you put LED bulbs in a Ford Fusion? 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. ## Sources - [Wikipedia, Ford Fusion (Americas), second-generation engine table and recall summary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Fusion_(Americas)) - [AMSOIL lookup, 2013-2018 Ford Fusion oil capacity & viscosity by engine code](https://www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2013/ford/fusion/) - [Ford dealer service content, Fusion capacities & specifications (6F35 ATF, coolant, brake fluid)](https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/vdirsnet/OwnerManual/Home/Content?variantid=2973) - [NHTSA recall 12V-551, 1.6L EcoBoost engine/cooling fire risk](https://www.csmonitor.com/Business/In-Gear/2012/1202/Ford-recalls-89-000-Escapes-Fusions-for-fire-risk) - [NHTSA recall 17V-209 / 17S09, 1.6L EcoBoost coolant level sensor](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RCMN-17V209-3326.pdf) - [NHTSA recall 19V-362 / 19S16, shift cable bushing](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2019/RCMN-19V362-9180.pdf) - [NHTSA recall 22V-413 / 22S43, shift cable bushing (expanded)](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2022/RCLRPT-22V413-2380.PDF) - [NHTSA recall 19V-632 / 19S26, steering gear motor bolt corrosion](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2019/RCLRPT-19V632-3962.PDF) - [NHTSA recall 20V-177 / 20S15, door latch](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2020/RCLRPT-20V177-3275.PDF) - [Edmunds, 2013 Ford Fusion Specs & Features (fuel tank, curb weight)](https://www.edmunds.com/ford/fusion/2013/features-specs/) - [Ford Fusion bolt pattern / lug torque guide](https://www.kipardoracing.com/ford-fusion-bolt-pattern-guide-2006-2020-wheel-sizes-offset-compatibility-fitment-specs/) ## Find your exact Fusion - [2020](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/2020) - [2019](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/2019) - [2018](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/2018) - [2017](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/2017) - [2016](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/2016) - [2015](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/2015) - [2014](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/2014) - [2013](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/2013) - [2012](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/2012) More Ford Fusion guides: - [Oil & filter](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/oil) - [Battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/battery) - [Tires & wheels](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/tires) - [Wiper blades](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/wipers) - [Air & cabin filters](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/filters) - [Brakes](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/brakes) - [Fluids](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/fluids) - [Service schedule](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/service-schedule) - [Problems & reliability](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/common-problems) - [Oil light reset](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/oil-reset) - [Key fob battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/key-fob-battery) - [Specs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/ford/fusion/specs) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
