looks good, i have the smoked version on mine. LED headlight and taillights are about the easiest, most dramatic change you can do to modernize the look of these cars...

How about some wider shots, fellas? Of the tail lights and head lights...nice to see the detail, but would be nice to see the vehicle as a whole, as well.

Just swapped the flasher relay with a LED one - 30 secs as Getee said.
No troubles now!
The setup I have on the car is LED brake lights, headlights and 3rd brake lights
If you're doing it in a stepped process (as I did) this is what you have to do:
Brake lights - no led relay or resistors required
3rd Brake lights - resistors required as it stops your cruise working (detects the brake light as being on with the led version)
Headlights - led flasher relay to pick up the lower resistance.
All done and enjoying the updated Porsche!

Tony_fury, those LED match up the front really well. The other Depo LED lights look too OEM to work as well.

Hot news and it is hot!
You guys with smoked lights don't use your fog lights!
I understand that the heat from the bulb may be melting the matte black coating.
Jeremy from xtreme is on to it and it may be LED foglight bulbs may be the. Way to go.
I know one of my bulbs is set low and I have a fine crack. Easily fixed I would add with a long paint brush and matte nail varnish.
Better to be safe than sorry.
Sure Jeremy will sort it out.
Chrome lights no worrieS - lucky you!

PCC010:
Are you referring to H7 HID fog light bulb or the standard stock H7 bulb..?
I'm running the standard stock H7 bulb.
There is a rating on the side of the light that spec's what bulbs are required and max wattage.
I don't normally run the fog lights, but would like to know..
Keep us informed.
Thanks
Tony

Standard stock Halogen H7
On the black matte units the fog lights are not chromed i.e. its not reflective
I did wonder about that as I know how hot these lights can get.
Pretty sure Jeremy is looking at some LED alternative H7 globes.
Not sure how hot the HID's get.

I replaced the. Fog/driving lights with the led lights in the stock headlights and they do not get very hot at all, however they are not very bright and will not be good replacements for the driving lights. They do make decent drls for the stock headlights though.

Once my lights come in, I'll be running HID H1 lowbeams and HID H7 fogs. I'll tell you if they crack or not. HIDs burn at a significantly lower temperature than the halogens, so I don't believe it'll be a problem.
