Installation was incredibly easy—classic German engineering!

The difference between the LEDs and the original halogens is significant. The headlights now look much more modern, and the visibility has greatly improved. The light is whiter and brighter, and the beam pattern is very similar, if not identical, to the original.

For my money, this is a highly worthwhile upgrade.

Congrats! That does look great. I felt the same with the OSRAM nightbreakers i installed, and its much brighter. Thinking about testing them for the high beam and see how that works. I have blue "xenon look" halogens as high beam now and I feel its a bit dim.

I have these Porsche LEDs….

…..in the fogs and the high beams.

They are so white, that they made the factory HID look yellow.

I had to buy a “white” HID bulb to better match these Porsche LEDs.

I now have an all white headlight and fog setup.

So far, so good, although I have a weird issue now.

The fog lights do not come back on and the Litronics stay in the “up” position after I turn on the high beams.

I have to cycle the headlight off and on to return fog light function and get the Litronics back down to low beam level.

This happened after the LED install in the fogs and high beams.

I went out and bought a new Porsche light switch and installed it and the condition did not go away.
