I've just fitted a set of these LED sidelights that I think give the front of the car a much more contemporary appearance.

Suggestion
So, obviously you lose the fog light as well as the side light - I assume that doesn't cause any 'Check bulb' messages on the dash?

They delete the spotlights completely, but I never used them anyway, and replace the sidelights with LED's.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I've just fitted a set of these LED sidelights that I think give the front of the car a much more contemporary appearance. They delete the spotlights completely, but I never used them anyway, and replace the sidelights with LED's. They also have the added advantage of incorporating radiator grills to help keep the leaves and other rubbish out. I purchased them from one of the traders on Planet 9 who is based in the USA, but it was a hassle-free experience and the product is very well made indeed. It is also quite straight forward to revert back to OE is so desired.

They look pretty smart. So, obviously you lose the fog light as well as the side light - I assume that doesn't cause any 'Check bulb' messages on the dash?
Did you install them yourself, or get a garage to do it? If the former, was it a pretty painless experience?
The LED's plug straight into the sidelight bulb holder so in effect, they replace the sidelights. No check lights and yes I fitted them myself. It took just over an hour and was pretty straight forward.

looks v nice.... have been thinking about doing the same to mine? mind if i ask what the total cost including shipping/taxes were in the end?
It totalled up to just over £200 in the end. Not that cheap but its a quality product and a relatively simple DIY job to fit.

Looks good .. I also like the grills. Do they cause any over heating? Not sure if there any after market ones made for the GTS...
It's too early for me to personally comment if there is any cooling issues, but they've been well tried and tested in the US for a couple of years now and there are no reports of any problems.
He only makes then for the Gen 1 Cayman at the moment.
Whatever the front of your car looks great. Trouble I (and everyone else with a newish car) have is the Porsche warranty ? On the Gt3 thread some are saying a Sharkworks exhaust mod doesn't effect the warranty others say the opposite, who knows....
