Replaced lights to LEDS
Haven't seen anything strange yet!!! I made a lists of bulbs type a few post from top which carries by superbrightleds.com. yes both headlights and side markers are LEDS.
If you check the 16th post I did a list of bulbs # as for the rear I did the reaverse and the license plate light only I havens gotten to the rear turn yet i just used a higher voltage for the rear brake for brighter lights.
Good luck with you guys project post some pics for us when you're done!!

the turn signal bulbs are all 1156 equivalent...
the rear tail/brake needs the 1157 dual filament equivalent....
i didn't change the reverse and side markers 'cause the are always ON and doesn't really benefit from changing to an LED....
however, on the front assembly, the parking light should be changed to an LED bulb...makes it whiter, not halogen yellowish...

Does anyone know of someone who can install some LED lights for me in the trunk compartment of my 996TT. I had to get up crazy early when I took my car to the body shop because the best rates my wife fould find on a room were in Richardson, TX and the body shop we used was in downtown FT Worth, TX. My appt was at 0730 and the drive is about 60 miles, factoring for traffic I had to leave when it was still dark so when I popped the trunk and saw no lights, I was caught off-guard. I am open to any advice or helpful guidance.
Thanks Rich!!

either one will work with the bayonnets guys...
i thought i ordered the ones that have all 4 mounted on top but ended up recieveing the ones that look like a "mace."
the ones i recieved also did not have the offset pins. a quick dremel job of one of the nipples (pick one) quickly solved that and the mod is completed!

might i also add that since you have the headlight out at one time, getting all of the lights.
i converted the headlights to 6k's, the bulb is a d2s - 6000k lumens

the turn signals i converted to chrome tipped bulbs to eliminate the amber while not in use, bulb type is 1156

and the driving lights have already been discussed...
happy lighting!

Nico I check its there it should be (White WLED-WHP9-T) if you look for just "WLED-WHP9-T" I dont think you will find it
White BA9s-WHP9 here's what it should look like!!!
It can be a little confusing thats why it took me three time to get right!!!
Reason for asking is that the BA9s uses the bayonet pins that are at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions, whereas the BAx9s (which is what the headlamp driving light socket calls for), uses bayonet pins mounted at, say... 9 o'clock and 2 o'clock...
Awesome, thanks Junior.... Did you have to force the bulb in while twisting to get it in properly, or modify one of the bayonet pins like one of the guys above, who said he modified one of the pins with a dremel tool?

If you guys are interested most if not all bulbs can be found on www.superbrightleds.com. I think i used the festoons bulbs for the license plate
engine, and trunk. For the daytime running light and side marker i use white BA9s-whp9. It took me three times to get the right bulbs.Superbright will let you return them if you order the wrong bulbs but you have to cover shipping charges which isn't to bad. If you guys think this is bright, wait until you see my dome lights
