What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?

I run LED bulbs in the 964 and think they are a great improvement .

Running these [well similar - not Porsche therefore cheaper] in both Jaffa 911 and Tango 914 - vast improvement!!
Running these in the Flachbau-

How easy were these to fit into a 911 rim?

Those don’t look remotely authentic! I’m hoping the Porsche LED bulbs will be almost indistinguishable from H4s behind the lens

It they are on a flat nose they are not seen I guess, and therefore no light unit to contend with either….

The 911 ones I have seen are about £1200 for a pair of units fitted to a 964 housing. I can’t quite decide if I like the halo DRLs etc versus the original look. Either way, not a problem I will face into until I have changed my front wings and have lowered the risk of them bidding for freedom on a bump

.

This is what I fitted to my Elite - & what I'd fit to my 911 if I was keeping it:

- bought from Classic Car LED's (along with LED replacements for all of the other bulbs).

Current price is ~ £70 for a pair ...

According to someone on Pelican..........and the pictures of the items seem to prove it Philips Ultinon Pro6000 LEDs, are in fact what Porsche is re-branding and up-selling

Probably

I guess there’ll always be options for everything - some cheaper and good, others less so

Although I can’t find Porsche listed on any of Phillips’ compatibility lists?…

What i have in Jaffa 911 and Tango 914.
To clarify -Flachbau popups are only up at night- aren't actually Porsche units so who cares what they look like when not being used?
In use they are sensational!!
I also have LED boards in the FB under bumper/fog lights - very bright and I use these as running lights all the time.
All other light are also LED bulbs with LED boards for the running/brake lights- https://www.spokeworksled.com/
Bright is good!!

Understood and totally get that in Flachbau but you know me - any deviation from factory spec for Gina gives me palpitations!

You probably will not if Porsche have the exclusive rights to only sell for their vehicles, and approve themselves.

So not really relevant then?
