Not too bad Jonathan.

Cool white in the headlights may look better with the Litronics on, though. Definitely looks nice with the side markers.

Sorry to be a fool asking what's the LED dimension there?

This is how I'll look at the drive through ATM with lights off at night

White would look good but I chose to be different

My fogs are 6000k color
Hopefully ultra whites arrive tomorrow.

Deciding to do Carrera GT lighting though, that forum member is beast!!

I ordered those before you hit me up, I kinda rather have that than the angel eyes, that's why I was asking if I could get them in chrome so I can use that Amber led bulb like these pics, but my projector updated to the bullet one and upgrade to your beast LED fog to match my lips

For the wrap around lights, I intentionally used some dim style LEDs for the middle (previous fog) bulb, so that you don't get the bright shining (I think I can see a brighter spot in the middle bulb position in your pic). It also is kind of unsafe being so bright (looks like brake lights almost).

I have 1 tiny bulb to the sides,
I have 2 5007 bulbs
And 1 large brake light

That's my bottom row

all_mota, she looks great!
I'm curious, how do the side skirts attach? Adhesive, or do you have to screw into the metal?

TY Rick. Used 3m double sided tape and a screw for the back where the original little mud flap thing bolts to, and a locking plastic screw in front connecting to the inner fender liner where there was an existing hole. I was avoiding having to drill holes in case I someday decide to take off the side skirts.

Thanks, that has been my concern about side skirts.

I am not happy with fog light color, I want pure white to match headlights



I also went to the store and bought the rear bulbs for temporary wrap around mod




The bulbs I bought are these, to even the rear fog light mod



I hope you don't say they are all ones (;

You know it's always good to have 4 grand or so, you never know what you want to do the Boxster

Frunk, trunk, interior all LED

I drive with a car helmet ready in the trunk lol,
When I take the backroad with the top down I rock it.

That sounds right. For the middle bulb, I have between a 5007 (led equivalent) and the tiny bulb, a red LED that is intentionally producing light along the edges of the bulb, rather than facing outwards, to avoid any hotspots or single points of light. Not a huge deal, seeing as you'll be replacing the tails anyways in a few days.

Uh, sorry to sound so negative Jonathan, but your video was difficult to watch:
1. Very jerky and dark.
2. Rule #1: don't cross the double yellow line.
3. Feels too much like distracted driving. Maybe better not to learn its limits on the street. Do a track day.

Other that that, it was fine .
