13 Attachment(s)
cost: $4.95 each bulb
part: BA9s-WHP6-12V 6 High Power LED Bulb
difficulty: 1-5 is 1 super easy
tools needed:
phillips screwdriver
purchased from SUPER BRIGHT LEDS home (not a forum sponsor)
I purchased LED parking light bulbs which are in the foglight housing...
Attachment 497990
here you can see the difference between the two halogen and LED, they have built in resistors so there is no bulb out warning...
Attachment 497991
here is the package with the part #'s the old halogen bulbs are in the package so don't get confused...
Attachment 497992
first remove the foglight shroud...
Attachment 497993
remove the three screws...
Attachment 497994
pull out the old bulb by twisting it off and put the new LED in by pushing it in then twisting, the pins do mot match up perfect they are off. It will still hold the bulb in place fine...
Attachment 497995
here it is on, so bright matches xenons perfect, its much brighter than the factory halogen bulb...
Attachment 497996
it will fit in you have to turn it at an angle then slide it in...
Attachment 497997
push it into the housing twist again and thats it, now turn on the parking lights...
Attachment 497998
here is the halogen...
Attachment 497999
now side by side...
Attachment 498000
and both on... (HID foglights are off)
Attachment 498001
and now all lights on...
Attachment 498002

Does anyone know if the 987 Boxsters use the same bulbs for these lights? The lenses are sure different.

Nope. The 987 Boxster uses wedge-shape 194 bulbs. So, the socket style bulbs posted by OP won't work on the Boxster. SuperBrightLED sells the bulbs. IIRC, it's the same bulb as the overhead interior light.

Lithium,

I am not sure if we discussed you changing your foglight bulbs last time you were here but I am thinking about these...

The color looks better than stock ones.

How do you remove the shrouds? Do you just pull with force?

Based on your posting, I ordered and just installed the LED Superbrightled's! super easy and what a difference.... Thanks for the awesome info!

Nice, looks like the gen 2's now with Bi-xenons since the "fogs" are led DRL's
