So after eventually getting the correct parts (Porsche sent the standard diffusers with the part number for the GTS diffusers ) I set about fitting the diffusers. I looed at topradio's excellent thread but had noticed on an US thread that it could be done without removing the bumper.

I started but soon decided that it was impossible  and was looking to remove the bumper. However having sleeping on it I decided to tackle it again.

After releasing the fastners and working from the corner of the diffusers at the rear wheel I started to free the clips working my way to the exhaust centre trim using fingers and trim tools and on the visible clips I opened them ad then fed strips of plastic in to stop them re-clipping. As with every one else the centre clips on the exhaust trim are difficult to access but I got some decent photo's to show others what you are trying to do.

Centre trim with side diffuser removed

close up The RED 'D' is representative of the diffuser clip when inserted and the exhaust trim tab fits into the 'D' You need to lever the tab out of the 'D'. I used a long shank flat crew driver to lever it out. Access is incredibly bad though. 

See the pic below showing the diffuser and clip in situ

The fitted diffuser !

Certainly an awkward wee job!

The advert states

OEM Fitment and no modifications required ... Plug and Play. DRL activated by the Light Switch, so no additional wiring required.

I don't think they need a diode therefore (probably built into the unit).

I used the 'hack' and a number of people have commented on the lights in a very positive way i.e. thinking they were oem  

PM Guv's to confirm perhaps to confirm the diode situation??

Yes no prob's and MOT was fine with set up ......................Mine has just passed

I love it me!

What colour blue is that, shes beautiful. 

I'd like to get this on mine but will do for lower wattage or maybe a few individual LEDs. Will post photos along the way.

Cobalt blue :-)

Very nice, and I love the photo, nice clean Drive and very synchronised with the door/mirrors

Guvs.

Will let you get away with the leaves as it's still the tail end of autumn.

The leaves came out of the radiator intakes...........honest

7.5W LEDs fitted chickened out of the 15w's

OK I am a donkey!!

Done it ............push in rotate switch and pull our switch. I was expecting the whole unit to rotate to release.

No force required at all

I know I did exactly the same as you, I even went as far as to get my son over for him to have a go, and as sweet as a nut it came out first time for him and he just looked at me as if to say "you donkey" after he showed me it was easy peasy, I too was expecting it to be harder than it was.

(2) REMOVE LIGHT SWITCH

I removed the light switch by pushing in the light switch while in the OFF position, and turning gently clockwise until it clicked. Then the switch just slides out. Unplug the Light switch from

the wiring harness and plug.

OK I have tried this this morning however I have been unable to move the switch in the clockwise direction.

How much force is required when rotating clockwise and roughly how much rotation??

These 5,5W LEDs look great and match the xenons.

At the price the 15W bulbs are I'll give it a go and if need be switch back to 5.5W as you and drago.d have used.

Cheers

Looks good .............I take it the passenger side is the LED one?

5.5w still looks bright

Which ones/LEDs did you go for ?

I have these in my watch box are they H8's Haven't had time to have a look into the fog's yet

Thanks for that tip.

I assume with the diode it is only interacting on the control/relay circuit and is not controlling the power circuit for the bulbs. I still intend to go LED for a brighter whiter light.

This is going to be my first mod.

Had to laugh at the Ebay price for these diodes...................100 diodes £1.99 delivered! haha ......... Group buy??

Will look at the LED fogs also Any further recommendations other than those in the thread?
