These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

I think the key difference is that the Gen 2 use LED lighting (white), while the Gen 1 uses conventional halogen lighting (yellow).

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1Original post

The fog lights on my 987 cayman are yellow in color, I want to get bright white bulbs... anyone know where to buy? Thanks, Mark

POST 2Original post

There are many threads already on the topic, including several in the Articles section.

POST 3Original post

I can't seem to find anything for the 987.2 on here. Does anyone know if they're the same fog lights?

POST 4Original post

I think the key difference is that the Gen 2 use LED lighting (white), while the Gen 1 uses conventional halogen lighting (yellow). I'm thinking about the same upgrade now. There are aftermarket LED replacement bulbs available with an H8 base. If you want it for more than just looks, pay close attention to the quality and light output of the LEDs you're considering. I've narrowed the results from my investigation down to either the following Cree or Samsung bulbs. Relatively speaking, they're expensive, but you get what you pay for. http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/H11-5W-CreeWH11-LED-5W-Cree-White DDM Tuning: HID and LED Lighting The Samsung seems to be a superior design, from a standpoint of both light output and lower generated heat. I'm still doing my due diligence, so if anyone has other recommendations, please let us know!

POST 5Original post

The LED lights are the DRLs on BIX equipped cars. They have no separate front fog lamps like the non-BIX cars.

POST 6Original post

Do you need Canbus LEDs so you don't get error codes?

POST 7Original post

Hey guys, Still a bit confused. My 987.2 Cayman does not have the bi-xenon package. Thus, the fog lights are yellow - not led like a car equipped with bi xenon. I simply want to change the bulbs to white bulbs rather than my ugly, old looking yellow ones. But, all the bulbs I can seem to find are for the gen 1. I want to make sure I buy the correct product.. friend of mine installed the wrong bulbs on his car and started a fire... haha. If anyone knows where to get white foglight bulbs for the gen2 cayman let me know!

POST 9Original post

I switched out the stock bulbs on my 987.1 (not sure if they are the same on yours) with these and am very happy. Hoen Todd

POST 10Original post

Some friends referred me to this site, and when I put in my vehicle information, these are the choices I get. Anyone know if these will work? will I get error codes?

POST 11Original post

Anyone? Someone with a 987.2 here has to have changed the bulbs!

POST 12Original post

Friend changed the foglights on his 06CS, which lists the same lamp (H11) as for yours, and he was very happy with them. He got his from the link above.

POST 13Original post

Does he know which ones specifically? Thanks in advance!

POST 14Original post

He did send me an update. He installed these and is very happy with them. 06CS DRL

POST 15Original post

FWIW, on my prior 987.1 CS I had changed my oem yellowish, dim 55W H11 fog light bulbs for brighter, whiter 65W H9 bulbs which fit perfectly. I used them for several years until I removed them when I sold the car. There was a very noticeable improvement in light output.

POST 16Original post

Problem is a lot of those LED lights are 6000K, while your OEM Xenon lights are only 4300K or something in color temp ...
