Overview
The PIAA H13 G3 LED Bulbs (part number 26-17413) are a pair of white LED replacement bulbs with an H13 base, rated 23W. Piaa Lighting marks them Universal Fit, so they are not tied to one vehicle model. The G3 design uses CREE XP-L LED chips on a slimmer column, positioned where a halogen filament would sit.
The placement lets the bulb fill the factory housing more evenly, giving a seamless beam pattern with no dead spots or light scatter. The bulbs are supplied as a pair, and their factory bulb connections make installation quick. They suit an LED upgrade in an H13 socket, provided the housing clears the bulb body.
Key features
- CREE XP-L chips, which PIAA describes as higher output with a wider viewing angle
- Pulse Modulation Control in the built-in drivers, meant to eliminate flicker in daytime running light mode on most vehicles
- Thinner main column that places the chips nearer a halogen filament position
- Redesigned fan that creates a vacuum effect and moves 70% more air than the previous design
- Fan noise cut by 40% compared with the earlier design
- Fins arranged to keep the LEDs cool for longer light output
- Factory bulb connections for direct installation in the existing socket
- PIAA backs the bulbs with a 5-year warranty
Checking clearance and road use
H13 bulbs are used in both high and low beam setups on many vehicles, and their larger LED body can interfere with covers or wiring in tight housings. Remove the headlight assembly if needed, and check the bulb against the reflector and cover before final assembly.
LED conversions also change how the lamp handles heat and moisture. Keep the rear seal and dust cover in good condition, and check that the bulb is fully seated. Because this bulb does not meet FMVSS108 or CMVSS108, review the rules where you drive before fitting it to a vehicle used on public roads.
- Measure the housing before fitting
- Seat the bulb fully and secure the cover
- Check the beam aim after installation
- Replace both sides together

Vehicle fitment
This bulb is not vehicle-specific. It is marked Universal Fit with an H13 base type and names no vehicle years, models or trims. Confirm the H13 bulb your headlight or fog light uses before ordering.
Universal fit does not guarantee clearance in every housing. Measure or test-fit the bulb first. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Factory bulb connections mean installation requires no wire cutting or soldering. Check clearance inside the housing before reassembly, since the bulb body must fit alongside the existing components. This bulb falls outside FMVSS108 and CMVSS108 compliance, so review local road-use rules before driving on public roads.
