LEDs—from Porsche!
 
I just noticed this in the new legacy parts notice.
This could solve the search for better lighting in our Boxsters.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1734722345.jpg

Yes…
 
….they launched those last year.

$250 USA.

Yup, I installed those as Hi-Beams in my Litronics. Way better than any existing H7, no doubt.

There are legal Philips and Osram LEDs available now, too.
And legal parking light LEDs, too. SADLY not (yet) for the Litronics, as they have a different socket.

New 986 factory halogens now come with leds. Not as good as real projector LEDs but brighter than halogens.
New and old:

That's bonkers, even for a Porsche part for a headlight bulb

So unfortunately there is a lot of qualification work and costs for higher-level expertises involved, because there is a certificate (which you have to show at the vehicle inspection, for example), which confirms the use of the LED in a lens designed for halogen.

Unfortunately, this is very expensive because bureaucratic -- at least in europe.
