Thanks for the great links and info!

 

Just to be clear...you removed your 997.1 TT front bumper cover, removed the 997.1 TT fog lights, installed the 997.2 fog lights (also listed as driving lights), and they worked with no errors? No mods? and they came on as DRLs, or did you use a Porsche tool (PIWIS/Durametric/etc.) to set them to be daylight running lights?

Just interested in the specifics and facts for everyone's benefit here. I hear/read/and assumed that when you took the halogen bulb out and replaced with an LED (997.2), the computer CAN would detect the different resistance and think the bulb was out??

But you are saying you just swapped and they work...? Porsche must have built in a circuit or resistor in the 997.2 if that is the case...

Thanks for the info.

I was reffering to fog lights...as written...front turn signals and stationary lights combo are the same for 997.1 and .2 tt cars...

 

I feel like an idiot for not knowing what the difference between the .1 &.2 fogs are... Looking now but an answer here for the future to see could be beneficial.

 

997.1 has halogen fog lights while .2 has 4 high power white leds inhoused in fog light....same external dimensions same plug same bolts...they can be installed at 997.1 fron bumper you just need to add some resistors to avoid error message...

 

One of my original fogs had a crack in the lens so I thought I would just swap them for the LED version.


They work without any dash errors. They do not turn on like DRL, you have to manually turn them on.

 

Thanks! That is good to know.

Your welcome DC.

I suppose you can buy this kit if you did want the DRL feature.

Or this if you already have the fogs.

Interesting, are they led or hid? High price to pay for led.

 

They are the OEM gen 2 turbo fogs.

 

Have you used these for the corner lights? I've had some trouble finding a set that will work. If used cheapies like those and have gone through 3 sets so far. Maybe the extreme cold exposure. They are not getting wet and the housing isn't fogging.

 

But they use led bulbs? Some people have sold hid conversions for the fogs, but I always think those are risky due to the heat.
Max is out of the led fog bulbs. Looks like the ones on eBay are the newer generation LED's

 

As far as I know they are LED bulbs.

 

Leds producemuch less heat vs halogen bulbs...less energy equals less thermal loss...

 

Hi...Yes, I have used them with no issues (and what is pictured and currently installed). Actually tried various sets to see what I liked, and they all worked. If you DO NOT get the ones that have the CAN circuit, they will definitely give you an error as you said.

Not sure why yours is giving you issues. You can always add 6 OHM 50 Watt resistors to trick it if you cannot get one to work.

Good luck!
