Fog Light Bulbs

[Johnny Danger]

Does anyone have any experience with changing out the factory fog light bulbs ( or running lights as they are sometimes called) on their 986 with an after-market brand that more closely matches the illumination of litronics ?

the front fog lights and running a/k/a city lights are 2 different bulbs in the 986. To match fogs to HIDs, try the either Silverstar or Silverstar Ultra bulbs - size H7.

For city lights, the small wedge bulb in the low beam housing, you'll likely need to either go LED or w/ a halogen bulb coated w/ blue paint (which will then be visible when off...).

Don't recall the size offhand, sorry

Burg Boxster,

Just so I am clear, when the litronics are on low beam and switch is pulled out ( green indicator light is on ) this actuates the fog lights. Correct ?

I am being told that the Hoen H7 xenon match bulb is the one.
