I didn't do anything special with the bulbs, just installed as is. The outside light is part of the parking lights and the Depo don't have it...instead you get just a reflector.

But you have two sets of LEDs per light right? One inner and one outter by the reflector...My LED by the outter reflector won't work!!

Thanks for your help!

Dre, darn good question. Is it maybe just for looks?

DRE,
I just ordered and installed the depo lights as well. The outside LEDs are the rear fog lights, and just the drivers side works anyway.

So what I did was to plug the outside LEDs into the rear light blub spot, NOT the Brake light spot, but the spot that lights up as part of the rear night lights. The problem is that the wire is too short. So to avoid cutting the wire, I cut the plastic to allow the wire to pull over to the spot.

Now I have night LEDs and LED brake lights.
bulb turn and reverse lights. and bulb drivers fog light.

That's right, I knew that...just becoming forgetful . Ya it only comes on with the fog lights and on one side. Porsche must have figured that when we turn on our fog lights we are actually in fog and it would be helpful if some one doesn't rear end because of the limited sight.

That is cool what you did, I'll have to take one back off and try that. LED parking lights nice!

Where'd you get that spoiler from and how does it work with the stock spoiler?
