DRL/LED on a 996
Well executed. I found the LED on Oznium, but was going to use a DRL product from http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Euro-Audi-Hella-Style-LED-Daytime-Running-Lights-DRL-Lamps-s/87.htm Then I found your post, thanks!! Two questions:
Joe
'02 C4 Cab
- Now that you've run them for a year, any issues with the LEDs getting damaged from pebbles, etc?
- What is the distance between LEDs (looks to be ~1" on center?). If you were to do it again, would you go to 1.25 or 1.5" on center? Anyone know the spacing for the 997s with DRLs?

Have not had any problems at all with water/road debris. Albeit I haven't put much mileage on the car since I bought it but everything is working just fine.
I think I spaced them about 1" apart and I have no regrets doing it that way

Bulbs & temp
I visited the following thread - https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/997-turbo-gt2/82913-anybody-put-6000k-hids-fogs.htm A lot of discussion about converting the fogs to HID. There was dialog about the temp of the HID as 6000K.
I had some H3 bulbs from an earlier project (with a blue tint) that were 'whiter' than the stock bulbs, but still had too much yellow/not enough blue when the low beam HID is on. I think these were ~4-4.5K, box didn't say. I am going to order the folowing:

I'll advise how it looks/post picts.

Guys,
I can sell you white side emitting light adhesive LED's (flex strip gel type) that are 2mm thick and about 23.5 inches long (possible to cut as per needed) for $60/pair. Here fixed on my Legacy GT, it is so slim it is mounted inbetween the headlight and the bumper Audi style. On my turbo I will mount it on the underside of one of the vent slats and it will be next to invisible when switched off.
Cheers J.
