Newest mods for 997TT
I managed to get two new mods done to my 997TT. One is to replace my front hood clear bra with full VentureShield hood coverage. I plan to eventually replace the fender clear bra too.
Can you see the clear bra line on the fender? None on the hood.
The line can be found all the way over at the back edge near the windshield
No more hood lines!
The second mod was to replace my Hoen W5W parking regular light bulbs with Hoen LED W5W bulbs which comes closer to matching the HID lowbeams
LED W5W bulbs
Passenger side with new LED bulbs
Driver's side with Hoen regular W5W bulbs
Compare the two
Next are the license plate LED light bulbs.

I've had Hoen lights for a while. Hardly a "convert" 
Go look under your turn signal light, you'll see a small Phillips screw. Take that out and carefully pull out the assembly. Twist the grey socket out. Don't use too much force. You might have to move the assembly around a bit to get it to come out. Use rubber gloves since you don't want to get your hand oil on the bulbs. Pull it out and replace the bulb, put it back together and you're good to go.

They were around $12 USD.

I did swap out my foglight bulbs for the ones from Hoen and they do match the HIDs more than the stock bulbs did.

Hey Atomic nice job you got there! There are 2 different kinds of LED 4100K and 4200K which one you pick?

Those LED's look great. It doesn't throw any Check Bulb warnings? I used to have LED's in mine, but everytime I turned my car on, i'd get an alert and it got very annoying. I might go for these if you don't get the alert.

I think the LED is one rating and the regular W5W is another rating. You can see the difference in Atomics side by side pic.

gmoney's right, the first one (4100K) and the second one is LED (4200k). And I didn't get any check bulb warning. My guess is that these bulbs were insignificant enough that Porsche left that off the "check bulb" circuitry.
