What changed during the 2012 Nissan Sentra

What headlight bulb does a 2012 Nissan Sentra use?

H13 (9008), dual-filament, shared low/high bulb for the low beam and H13 (9008), same 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 Nissan Sentra take?

H11 (SE-R/SL where equipped).

Can you put LED bulbs in a 2012 Nissan Sentra?

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.
