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.

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

986Forum: 1 discussions

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

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi I have a 2007. I like the always-on LED running lights on the newer models. This place, Carid, sells add on led kits. Has anyone installed them? I would not attempt if it requires a lot of disassembly and wiring, but if its easy, like snap-on easy, I'll go for it. Lumen® - LED Daytime Running Lights

POST 2Original post

I bought my '06 in the US and brought it to Canada where daytime running lights are required. Porsche can turn on that option easily, nothing to buy.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi pierre, did you have porsche install the lights or do it yourself? I'm trying to get a handle on if I can do this myself.

POST 4Original post

They do it by making a change on the car's computer. Nothing to install.

POST 5Original post

And daytime running lights mean 7% fewer accidents for the cars using them.
