Toeside Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 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 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131568050395?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmunk Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 http://www.auto-lighting.co.uk/product-eng-1109-Car-LED-Light-Bulb-27x-SMD-5050-H8-CanBus-WHITE.htmlI'd go with the ones you have listed above - they are 15W compared to my 5.5W. I might just get a set myself The fogs are also H8 bulbs btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Looks good .............I take it the passenger side is the LED one?5.5w still looks bright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drago.d Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Agreed, that LED (5.5w?) looks fine. Anyway, OEM DRL's aren't designed to dazzle other road users, are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmunk Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I know - 5.5W sounds low but the site definitely states "Power Consumption: 5.46W"The passenger bulb (the whiter of the 2) is the one I have replaced. Here are some more pictures showing both replaced and what they look like with the headlights on as well (when in fog light mode). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmunk Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Let me know how they work out and shout if you have problems with mod. It's pretty straight forward but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 (2) REMOVE LIGHT SWITCHI 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 fromthe 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?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toeside Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guvs Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 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.Guvs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxsterboy09 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marks44 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Is this a mod for 986 owners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its for 987s the 986 hasn't got the "home" position on the headlight switch & with the fogs being in the headlights on 986s i am not sure it will look right (photos anyone?). Looks awesome on the 987 though having done it to mates car. 986 Foglight Mod I havent done any research on the above but apparently running a wire from the foglight fuse to the fog light relay pin 56 has the desired effect on a 986.

Boxsterboy09 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Do you guys think it would be tacky if I wired up a brake light similar to what you get on the RX8 where the RX8 lights up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guvs Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 F.H. have you seen the size of the diode ? and I'm sure it would cost more than the price of a first class stamp to post it to Scotland, have you not got a Maplins near you ? they cost 0.49p Guvs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
