Ok I am done now, just ordered the license plate DLEDs (back in stock) for my Basalt. My light list is:

-Stock HID head
-Hoen Xenon match fogs
-Hoen City lights
-OEM Clear Side Markers Porsche 997
-All red rear 997.1 tails
-Hoen DLED rear license plate light

I think maybe some interior LEDs and I am done!

As an example right now my clutch feels like crap, probably cant handle the flash / exhaust and its skipped a beat or two on a mild launch - not always, just sometimes. Im worried if I replace the clutch that the dealer will come down on me if the slave cylinder fails (or whatever that part is that fails). Ive already been to the dealer once with a mystery leak of fluid so it has to be something else. Anyways thats another topic / post.

After beating around bush for a while, finally got around to ordering the whole set of lights (fogs/city/side marker/license plate). Can anyone tell me how long it took to ship? Hope to make it a DIY day on Sat or Sun and get all of them on along with my new wheels
Thanks for the info, gmoney

They stay on with headlights on. I just had one of my license plate bulbs burn out after 2 weeks or so so lets see how well their warranty is...

Yeah, customer svc is superb. Although I don't think I'll be getting the fogs again. They burnt out way too quickly and getting to those housing, removing and reinstalling them is a serious PITA.

If you are really trying to match your fogs to your dLED city lights I would recommend changing the fogs to HID. My local audio shop installed new 6000k HIDs in my fogs and it looks fantastic. It not only matches the city light visually but functionally, the lights are much brighter with much better coverage. An added benefit is that I have not had one error message. I would also mention that it looks very unique when driving at dusk with just the HID fogs and city lights on.
