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.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All... Looks like someone has changed one of my hid bulbs at some time, they are different colours?? Anyway, I have ordered a couple of replacement bulbs from ebay. But can anyone tell me for sure what is the bulb type of the main beam and the fog/spot lights? As it is only the dipped beam that is HID, on my last car i fitted HID to main beam and spots.. It was like driving in daylight!!

POST 2Original post

should be listed in your owners manual http://www.design911.co.uk/fu/pt70_-cma81-cmo110/Porsche/996--911--1997-05/Lighting---Lamps---Lens/

POST 3Original post

Presumably you have and are talking about the OEM Litronics (not after market). The bulbs do wear out over time, the colour change may indicate the bulb(s) are on their way out and need replacing. Check GSF, EuroCarParts, Design911 and PorscheShop. Probably useful to call OPC to check bulbs required and laugh at their prices. (the bulbs are listed in the manual / handbook too, as mentioned)

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
