So no heat issues whatsoever? I'm not going to melt anything or burn up any wiring with these? No explosions? And they work as well in the fog as the OEM bulbs?



Thanks.

No heat at all and no issues with frying your Boxster's wires. As far as working in fog I can't help you there. I always considered fog lights as decorative. Not much fog where I live.

Looks like...

...you need to road trip to San Francisco and test them out in the fog! For scientific purposes, of course!

The reason this is such a good idea is:
An LED bulb uses 80% of the wattage to produce light, 20% as heat. A halogen bulb is the reverse- 80% is producing heat and only 20% is light.
I have used this source because of their excellent website and clear communication.
