DRL-Fog Light Hack

[Lew]

Regarding the DRL Hack. If I remember correctly, I read that someone did the hack and had been using the original Fog Light Bulbs for a long time without causing lense damage. Anyone recall this, or know the post? I tried a search using certain words, but no luck. I was successful doing the hack, but I unplugged the wire from the fuse until I know for sure the OEM bulbs will not cause damage to the lens. My thoughts are Porsche would not put a bulb in place that would burn a lens. Something else I read that was not answered. If doing the hack, what happens if you select the Fog Lights with the switch?

Your thoughts are incorrect. Every exterior light fixture can and has been burned/melted by stock bulbs. Do not use halogen bulbs as DRL.

I finally changed out the OEM fog light bulb's to the H7 LED's that some are using. I did raise the Fog Lights up 10 turns on the adjustment screws. They look so much better than the OEM's.
