E4BRT Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks drago.d, yes they are LED. I bought h11 by mistake so a little filing needed to fit. No canbus errors with them. Should have bough h8. Thanks again Graeme, I'm using the "home" function too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E4BRT Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I ordered these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271483393644?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITAnd all I did as the seller suggested was to file down one of the tabs. Type in "canbus free fog Porsche" and they should apear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 What was the problem that you finally sorted? For others to be aware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E4BRT Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 The first time I tried the mod the fogs were on as DRL's but it canceled out the headlights. Not sure what happened but I tried it again and it seems to work now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drago.d Posted March 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Cheers for the LED heads up, E4BRT and Tony. In normal daylight, would you say they were too bright/dazzling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Daniel Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I would say there not as bright as most factory DRL's so shouldn't be dazzling to other road users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Daniel Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 There not on all the time, just when you put the light switch in the 'Home' position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sniktaw Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 OK, just done a similar hack to my 2004 3.2S. Hooked up a relay to the wiring behind the light switch so that if ignition is on fogs are on (LEDs). If low or high beam is on fogs are off unless the switch is pulled out in which case they're also on. The relay is off of eBay and accessible from above the driver side heater duct in case I need to pull it for purposes of appeasing Plod or at MOT time.If anyone wants a How To let me know.Daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not post the process and details on the "How to" forum for future reference. Your post and offer will get lost here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
