Regarding LED light.

I have 11 CS.

I want to change side marker bulbs, license plate bulbs and interior bulbs to LED.

Does anyone know which LED bulbs work for 11 CS? (Bulbs do not make error)

I used 194 LED Bulbs for the interior lights.

If I had to guess, I would assume the Side Markers are the same.

The License Plate Bulbs you should order through a vendor. I am pretty sure if you swap them out with just the 194 bulbs, it will trip a sensor. There are Lic Plate kits out there with a built in relay so you wont trip anything.

For the sidemarkers, you can't just go straight LED since it will trigger faults messages.

Here's a discussion about the side markers and some bulbs we used.

We have plate light bulbs which are error-free for the new Cayenne. We're working on orange LED's at the moment for side markers.

for the license plate and side markers i used aznoptics LEDs (the link is in the "clear marker" thread above). i used the white bulbs for the license plate lights and the amber for the side markers, with just a bulb swap, and no error lights on the 2013 CTT.

theres led bulbs for the sidemarkers that wont trip the error light, the connector part looks like a board/chip. and they work error free, however they dont seem to last very long. i had some i put in and in 3-4 months the bulbs started to flicker and some of the leds went out. and still didnt give me an error on the dash, i just took them out and put back in stock amber ones.

I have used this company in the past: http://www.putco.com/

Most of the time I just use Amazon Prime and order the specific bulbs through them. The bulbs that were a pain to change were the bulbs under the front footwall and the ones under the front seats. I just gave my dealer the bulbs and they changed them out for a small fee. I used 194's for them almost all the bulbs in the interior cabin. I suggest upgrading to a more powerful led light for the rear truck lid.

Hope this helps!

I have a set of these in amber (for the side markers) and in the 5000K white for the license plates. they work great, no errors and no issues in the few months i've had them so far.

So, do you guys think any of the led lights would fit as side marker too? (Bluelodge, noskis, steph280)

The 194 appear to fit in the side markers but I wouldn’t be surprised if it tripped a bulb-out fault code. You could always use the LED bulbs Suncoast sell for the Lic Plate since they are designed not to trip any fault codes.
