Dont, the little aftermarket 168 xenon look bulbs run too hot even at the same wattage, the filter of the light to produce the xenon look retains heat that would normally dissipate.

Your best bet is the OEM 997TT 168 bulb, its slightly blue coated but runs cool as non coated, not a perfect match but closer than the stock one.

C2SKID is infamous around these parts
I did PIAA LED W5W with ECU error signal blocker. Worked great!

Just curious - which LED did you end up ordering? They have a huge selection.

Also, did you get the 25W resistor?

Good advice, over time it burns and 'yellows' your lens and totally isn't worth it.
